Antonio Caño Barranco (born 1957) is a Spanish journalist. He was the editor of El País from 2014 to 2018.

Biography[]

Born in 1957 in Martos.[1] After a brief spell working for the Agencia EFE, he joined El País at a young age, working at the newspaper's international area. Correspondent in Mexico and the United States, he was responsible for the editions for the Americas.[1]

He was appointed as editor-in-chief of El País on 4 May 2014, at the 38th anniversary of the newspaper.[2] A protegè of Juan Luis Cebrián, El País founder and former editor-in chief, during his 4 year spell as editor, the newspaper's editorial line experienced a further swing towards right-leaning positions, at odds with the chiefly left-leaning readership base of the newspaper in Spain.[3] By early 2018, after a steady decline in sales, his removal from the position of editor was reported; this was interpreted as an attempt to cater to the newspaper's traditional readership.[3] Soledad Gallego-Díaz was announced as his successor in June 2018, in what it was interpreted as a left swing of the editorial line.[4]
