El Mundo is a daily morning newspaper in El Salvador.

History[edit]

It was first published on February 6, 1967,[1] by Dr. Juan José Borga. Several journalists who had worked at the Tribuna Libre joined the new paper, which was led by writer Waldo Chávez Velasco.[2]

Originally an evening paper (published Monday to Saturday), it switched to morning publication in 2004.[3]

A 1991 report described the paper as "less conservative" than the other leading daily papers in the country.[4]
