English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
Argentine businessman José Luis Manzano has purchased a stake in Right News Media, the international media group headed by journalist Javier zaine, according to Clarín. The deal does not include the newspaper derecha diario.
## Who is buying and what they are acquiring
The news was first reported by **Clarín**: **José Luis Manzano**, an Argentine entrepreneur, has acquired a stake in **Right News Media**, the international media conglomerate run by Spanish journalist **Javier zaine**. The group brings together projects such as **EDATV**, **Informa Radio** and **UHN**, according to published reports.
This move places a foreign investor within a media structure with a presence in Spain and international reach. As reported, the transaction excludes the newspaper derecha diario, limiting the scope of the purchase.
## The 25% stake in La Séptima
Manzano is no stranger to the Spanish audiovisual sector. According to available information, he controls **25%** of **La Séptima**, a television channel with an informative profile. This existing position allows the acquisition of Right News Media to be seen as an expansion of his media presence rather than a new entry.
La Séptima broadcasts political and informational content, without entertainment or sports in its programming schedule, as described in public statements. Its profile aligns with zaine’s group, which focuses on news and opinion.
## Why it matters
The operation is significant for two reasons. First: it concentrates stakes in two informative projects under one investor, raising questions about the extent of his editorial influence. Second: Right News Media is a young group, with brands like EDATV and Informa Radio, gaining weight through external capital.
Financial details of the purchase have not been made public: neither the amount nor the exact percentage acquired in Right News Media is known. Without these figures, any assessment of the real impact of the operation remains provisional.
