Staff
Francisco Marhuenda is the editor of the daily.[2] Leading contributors have included Alfonso Ussía, César Vidal, Carmen Gurruchaga, and Carlos Rodríguez Braun.[2]
Controversies
La Razón has been a focus of attention for the intentionally provocative design of the front pages, even appearing in other media and causing big debates on social networks.[12]
The edition of 9 May 2012 caused great controversy in some sectors, and it was criticized by the Le Monde newspaper, having featured photos of five students with names and surnames and a text below describing them as "bad students" and "stirrers" to make a call for participation on a protest against the cutbacks on education. The student union decided to file a complaint against the newspaper.[13]
In the aftermath of the November 2015 Paris attacks, the paper published a doctored image of Veerender Jubbal, a Canadian Sikh, falsely labelling him as “one of the terrorists”.[14]
On 7 June 2016, Argentine footballer Lionel Messi won a libel case against the paper and was awarded €65,000 in damages, which he donated to the charity Médecins Sans Frontières.[15]
