Ownership information is very difficult to obtain. There is a lack of clarify about the number of editions of the newspaper Al Día. The EGM registers three editions (Barranquilla, Cartagena, and Santa Marta). However, consultations with journalists in the Caribbean region and Internet information suggests there are seven.
