Interviú (a Spanish Anglicism for "interview") was a Spanish language weekly news magazine published in Madrid, Spain. It was in circulation between 1976 and 2018.

History and profile

[edit]

Interviú was established in 1976[1] in Barcelona[2] by a group led by Antonio Asensio Pizarro[3][4] and Josep Llario.[5] It was first published on 22 May 1976.[6] The publisher of the magazine was Grupo Zeta[7] which was also founded by Asensio Pizarro in 1976.[8] The magazine was published weekly on Mondays,[9] and its headquarters was in Madrid.[10]

The magazine was famous for publishing semi-nude and nude photographs[4] of the rich and famous, sometimes using paparazzi photoshoots or posed pictorials. In this last case the subjects were normally women,[11] typically Spanish actresses and singers. It also published interviews with politicians[2] and articles on political and economic scandals[11] and it featured opinion pieces by famous writers.[12] Another notable inclusion was news photographs that were considered too violent or gory for use by the daily press.[2]

Its last issue was on 8 January 2018.[13] Grupo Zeta explained this was due to financial reasons and changes in the way the public consumes news.[14]

Circulation

[edit]

The circulation of Interviú was about 1 million copies both in 1977 and in 1978.[4][15] It rose to three million copies in 1979.[16] The magazine had a circulation of 122,644 copies in 2003.[17]

Its circulation was 94,461 copies in 2008[4] and 62,614 copies in 2009.[18] The circulation of the weekly was 54,046 copies in 2011.[9]
