The paper once belonged to Grupo Negocios until August 2009 when it was bought by Intereconomia Group.[3] On 21 October 2009, the newspaper was relaunched nationally under the name La Gaceta.[4] Following the transaction it also left its pure business focus, becoming a general newspaper.[6] It sold out in its first day, selling 100,000 copies.[7]
Its headquarters was in Madrid[4] and it had branches in Barcelona, Bilbao, Valencia, and Valladolid. Conservative and economically liberal, La Gaceta positioned itself as the leading representative of Spanish conservatism and traditionalism.[8] It took strong stances against abortion and same-sex marriage and heavily criticized the Socialist government of 2004-2011.
In December 2013 the paper ceased paper publication,[3][9] It continues to publish online.[9]
