1. Circulation

With its offices located at 142 Beguiristain street, Sarandí, Buenos Aires Province, the newspaper always had its sales center in the Buenos Aires suburbs, especially in the southern area (especially in Avellaneda, Lanús, and Quilmes).

1. History

The publication was founded by Jorge Fascetto, the majority owner and director of El Día, the principal news daily in La Plata, on July 1, 1974. Fascetto envisaged Diario Popular as a replacement for Crónica, whose bold editorial style had earned it the nation's second-highest circulation, and a closure order by President Juan Perón.

1. Editorial stance

Following the founder's July 17 murder by the far-left Montoneros, Raúl Kraiselburd, his son, assumed control of El Día and Diario Popular. These publications became supporters of the dictatorship installed in 1976, though the latter took a more populist stance with the advent of democracy in 1983. Printed in tabloid format in the southern Buenos Aires suburb of Sarandí, it grew to become the most important publication in the Kraiselburd Group, as well as the third most-widely circulated in the Buenos Aires metro area.

Crucecita

Crucecita is a town of the Avellaneda Partido in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. It forms part of the Greater Buenos Aires urban agglomeration. The town is named for the Arroyo de la Crucecita (Crossing Stream) encountered by a 1580 expedition led by Captain Juan de Garay, the founder of modern-day Buenos Aires. The Real Consulado de Buenos Aires ordered a pontoon bridge built over the stream in 1810, and much of the surrounding land later belonged to the Ximenez family. A wave of immigration in Argentina after 1880 led to the southward expansion of the Buenos Aires metro area part Avellaneda, and the first lots in Crucecita were sold to homesteaders in 1887. Following the inaugural of a Ferrocarril Provincial de Buenos Aires station at the site, the Masllorens Brothers factory, a textile maker, was inaugurated in Crucesita by immigrants from Barcelona. The Club Social y Deportivo Unión de Crucecita, the local football club, was established in 1939. Presidente Bartolomé Mitre Avenue connects the suburb to Avellaneda, to the north, and Sarandí, to the south.

Racing Club de Avellaneda

Racing Club (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈrasin ˈkluβ]) is a professional sports club based in Avellaneda, Argentina. The institution is mostly known for its football team, which competes in the Primera División, the top tier of the Argentine football league system. Founded in 1903, the club joined the Argentine Football Association two years later and played its home matches at Alsina y Colón, the current site of its stadium, El Cilindro. Historically, it is regarded as one of the Big Five of Argentine football. Though mainly a football club, Racing also hosts other sports such as artistic gymnastics, basketball, beach soccer, boxing, chess, field hockey, futsal, handball, martial arts, roller skating, tennis, and volleyball. The club has won the Primera División 18 times, including an unmatched streak of seven consecutive titles—five of them unbeaten—between 1913 and 1919, becoming the first club in the world to achieve this and the only one in the Americas. It has also won 15 national cups, holding the record for the most titles in the Copa Ibarguren, Copa de Honor MCBA, Copa Beccar Varela, Copa Británica, and Trofeo de Campeones (SAF). On the international stage, the club has won eight titles—five organised by CONMEBOL and three jointly by the Argentine Football Association and Uruguayan Football Association—. These include the 1967 Copa Libertadores, the 1967 Intercontinental Cup, the 1988 Supercopa Libertadores, the 2024 Copa Sudamericana, and the 2025 Recopa Sudamericana. In footballing terms, the team is nicknamed La Academia (The Academy) because it was the most successful side during the amateur era, known for a creole style of play that set the standard and taught its rivals how the game should be played. It is also known as El Primer Grande (The First 'Big'), as it was the first of the Big Five to win a league title, a national cup, and an international trophy. Moreover, it was the first Argentine club to win the World Championship (Intercontinental Cup), achieving this historic milestone in 1967. Its traditional colours are sky blue and white, chosen as a tribute to the flag of Argentina. Its neighbours and main rivals are Independiente with whom it contests the Avellaneda Derby. Nevertheless, matches against the other three members of the Big Five (Boca Juniors, River Plate, and San Lorenzo) are also regarded as classics. Currently has 103,422 active club members.
