Diario Sur

'Southern Daily') is a regional newspaper of Málaga, Spain.

Initially it was called Arriba but soon rechristened SUR, taking its name from that of a national paper.

[1] In March 1984, upon the liquidation of Medios de Comunicación Social del Estado, which it was a part of, the workers of SUR took control of the organization, a group of 1,500 shareholders, making it the only state media corporation to be acquired by its workers.

[1] The rest of its shares belonged to Luis Pagan, President of the County Council of Malaga, and to Manuel Martin Almendro, the President of the Chamber of Commerce.

[1] In 1989 the company merged with Correo (now owned by the conservative Grupo Vocento)[2] under the name Prensa Malagueña, S.A. creating the head of a local multimedia group that included television (Canal Málaga) and radio (Punto Radio Málaga), as well as the free Qué Pasa, the SUR in English, the SUR Deutsche Ausgabe, and the Costa del Golf.
