One of the most respected newspapers in Uruguay, known since 1918. Translated into English, it is name known as «The Country». Initially, «El País» was a purely political newspaper, representing the interests of the «National Party» of the country. Today, it is more socially oriented, and politics has faded into the background, although it is published in a separate large section. The standard (weekday) issue of the newspaper consists of about 40 pages: Información (national news, regional bulletin, politics), Mundo (international news), Opinión (various analytics, author's materials), Negocios (economy, finance, real estate, trade, agriculture), Ovación (large sports section: football, tennis, motorcycle racing, basketball, athletics, seasonal sports, rugby, golf, horse racing), TVShow (movies, TV, stage, show business, theater, personalities, stars), Eme (women's magazine app: fashion, style, family, everyday life, astrology, career), Rurales (agricultural sector, animal husbandry), Especiales (special reports), Gallito (auto). For subscribers of the newspaper, there is a shopping club «Club El País», whose members enjoy various discounts in shops, restaurants, cinemas throughout Uruguay. Thematic and seasonal newspaper supplements (finance, Economics, culture, technology, travel): «El Empresario», «Domingo», «Economía y Mercado», «Que Pasa», «Sábado Show», «El Cultural», «Ute», «Alemania», «Suiza», «Francia».
