El Periódico
The Olive Press es la publicación en inglés más popular de España y es gratuita. The Rough Guide lo vota
como ‘el mejor por sus reportajes de investigación, etc’” mientras que también fuimos votados como
‘mejor periódico para expatriados en España’ y ‘segundo en el mundo’ en los premios TESCA en Londres.
En 2020, ganó un premio de la Google News Initiative por su información original e imparcial.
Con un equipo de casi una docena de periodistas formados profesionalmente en España, publicamos
historias semanalmente y los periódicos nacionales y las cadenas de televisión del Reino Unido nos
requieren regularmente para investigar historias en España y la cercana Portugal.

The Olive Press mantiene sistemáticamente una elevada proporción (alrededor del 50% / 50%) de noticias
y reportajes de calidad frente a los anuncios, en comparación con la mayoría de nuestros competidores.
Como resultado, cualquier anuncio destaca más en nuestras ediciones. También imprimimos en un papel
más pesado y de mejor calidad que nos ayuda a diferenciarnos de nuestros competidores.

          Seis Ediciones Impresas
       Olive Press ahora cubre seis diferentes regiones: Andalucía, Costa Blanca,
                         Murcia, Mallorca, Gibraltar y Valencia
