About the Diario de Ibiza – The most important media of the Pityusic Islands
Founding and historical significance
The Diario de Ibiza is the Balearic Islands' longest-running newspaper, first published on August 1, 1893. It was formed through the merger of several local weeklies and was founded under the leadership of printer and first director Francisco Escanellas Suñer. Its mission was clearly stated: to defend the public interest in Ibiza. Even then, the newspaper was only two pages long, cost five centimes per issue, and served as a central source of local, national, and international news.
A living reflection of the island's history
For more than 125 years – steadfastly even in times of crisis such as war or political censorship – the Diario de Ibiza has documented the reality of life in the Pitiusas on a daily basis. It was and remains a reliable chronicler, addressing the lives and concerns of the islanders and serving as a window to the outside world.
Change in editorial teams and owners
After several phases and changes of ownership, Francisco Verdera Ribas took over in 1963 and initiated a professional modernization. Under his leadership, the newspaper contributed significantly to the island's tourism and cultural development. In 1991, the paper passed into the hands of the regional media group Prensa Ibérica, which still publishes it today.
Digital age and journalistic modernity
Since 14 November 1998, the Diary of Ibiza also has an online presence – a digital pioneer for the region. Modernity is also evident in the use of solar energy: the editorial team relies on its own photovoltaic system for environmentally friendly electricity generation. Furthermore, the publication is characterized by journalistic independence, plurality, and a wide reach on Ibiza and Formentera.
Current management and female leadership
Cristina Martín Vega has been at the helm of Diario de Ibiza since November 2016 – the first woman to hold this position. She is a strong advocate for the visibility of women in reporting and is considered one of the most influential women in Spanish journalism.
Role as a social engine
The Diario de Ibiza is far more than a newspaper: It is a social engine, a guide, and a confidant of the island's population. Whether in everyday life, in times of prosperity, or in times of change, it accompanies the people and has guided the region's information supply for generations.

Flightright – When passenger rights simply work
Flight delays, cancellations, or overbookings are unfortunately not uncommon. However, many passengers are unaware that they are entitled to compensation in such cases – and even fewer know how to pursue it. This is precisely where Flight right comes into play: a pioneer among legal tech companies and market leader in the field of air passenger rights.
Specialist in EU passenger rights since 2010
Since its founding in 2010, Flightright has pursued a clear goal: to help passengers assert their rights against airlines – quickly, easily, and risk-free. The legal basis for this is the EU Air Passenger Rights Regulation 261/2004, which, among other things, provides compensation of up to 600 euros for flight problems.
How Flightright works
Using the service is incredibly simple: Affected parties enter the key details of their flight online – within a few minutes, the system automatically checks whether a claim exists. If so, Flightright handles the entire process with the airline, including all legal steps. Even court proceedings can be conducted upon request – at no additional cost to the customer.
The highlight: Payment is only made if the claim is successful. If no payout is made, there are no costs. If compensation is successful, Flightright retains a commission from the compensation amount. This model ensures maximum fairness and transparency.
Retroactive up to three years possible
Many people don’t know that even flights that took place in the past can still be compensated – usually up to three years retroactively. It is therefore worthwhile to have older cases reviewed again.
How much is the compensation?
The amount of compensation depends on the flight route:
- EUR 250 for short distances up to 1.500 km
- EUR 400 for medium-haul flights between 1.500 km and 3.500 km
- EUR 600 for long distances over 3.500 km
This usually requires an arrival delay of at least three hours – or a flight cancelled at short notice for which the airline is responsible.
Why Flightright?
What sets Flightright apart is not only its fair success model, but also its impressive success rate of around 99% in legal proceedings. With over 600 million euros in compensation payments enforced Flightright is one of the absolute pioneers in Europe.
The provider also scores points with transparent communication: The status of the case can be viewed online at any time – conveniently from the sofa or on the go via smartphone.
For all those who do not want to be left with the damage
No one should forgo their right to compensation just because the process seems complicated. With Flightright, asserting your rights is child's play – without any stress, paperwork, or legal fees. Anyone who has experienced flight trouble can now easily protect themselves and have their compensation pursued professionally.
