help Excélsior FAQ
When was Excélsior founded?
Rafael Alducin founded Excélsior in Mexico City, and its first issue appeared on March 18, 1917. That places its launch less than a year after El Universal began in October 1916.
Did Excélsior grow out of another publication?
Yes. Its origins are linked to the weekly Revista de revistas, which Rafael Alducin edited before launching the daily.
Why is Excélsior historically important in Mexican journalism?
It covered national politics, public affairs, culture, and international news during a period of major political change in Mexico. Its long-running motto, El Periódico de la Vida Nacional, reflects that broad national role.
How does Excélsior relate to El Universal?
Both are Spanish-language Mexico City newspapers, but El Universal was founded in 1916 and Excélsior began in 1917. Excélsior is therefore generally described as the city's second-oldest major daily after El Universal.
