history
El Universal was founded on October 1, 1916 by Félix Fulgencio Palavicini and Emilio Rabasa . Fulgencio was a member of the Constituent Assembly of Santiago de Querétaro . The declared aim of the new newspaper was to be the spokesman for the Mexican revolution . At the start of the Querétaro Constituent Assembly , it is alleged that it was one of the primary means of information in the state under Álvaro Obregón . The first editorial office was at the Madero y Motolinía intersection in central Mexico City . The print shop had a rotary press from Goss International . This rotary press was used to print the first edition of the Mexican Constitution of 1917. With this Querétara , the ejido system , which had been stolen from the constitution of 1857 with La Reforma , was promised again, and the revolution was thus steered into institutional channels. Her staff included members of all parties in Mexico, among others: Amalia García from the PRD, Beatriz Paredes Rangel from the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), Demetrio Sodi, Esteban Moctezuma, Jesús Ortega, Porfirio Muñoz Ledo, Javier Corral Jurado. From 1921 the subtitle was El Gran Diario de México. From 1922 an evening edition of EL UNIVERSAL Grafico appeared . In 2000 a Sunday supplement Dia Siete and the free sheet El M for the Mexico City metro appeared.
