Corisa Media Grup

Corisa Media Grup is a Catalan multimedia group based in Ripoll, in the comarca of Ripollès, Catalonia, Spain. According to its own corporate website, it was founded in 1989 by journalists and audiovisual technicians from the Ripollès area, and today it manages more than fifteen communication companies, including production houses, local media outlets and digital services. Its stated mission is to deliver news and messages to every point of the Ripollès, Garrotxa and Cerdanya comarques through radio, television and the press, and to reach audiences anywhere in the world through digital publications such as ripollesdigital.cat and garrotxadigital.cat. The group's activities span several branches of the communication world. Its media portfolio includes radio, television and press operations, as well as digital publications and audiovisual production companies. Its central installations are located in Ripoll, with additional facilities in Olot, the capital of the Garrotxa comarca. This multi-platform structure allows Corisa Media Grup to serve as a local media hub for a largely rural and mountainous area of the Catalan Pyrenees foothills. In December 2018, Corisa Media Grup received the Premi Nacional de Comunicació de Proximitat (National Award for Local Communication) from the Government of Catalonia (Generalitat de Catalunya). The award recognised the group's long trajectory as an "example of a local communication medium that embraces all branches of communication." The Government also highlighted that since 2010 Corisa Media Grup has convened and organised the Premis Ripollès Líders. Corisa Media Grup remains a privately held, independent local media company. It is not listed on any stock exchange and does not appear to be part of a larger national or international media conglomerate. Its identity is closely tied to the territory it serves, and its brand is associated with proximity journalism and comprehensive local coverage in the Catalan counties of Ripollès, Garrotxa and Cerdanya.

Corisa Media Grup was founded in 1989 by journalists and audiovisual technicians from the comarca of Ripollès, in the Catalan Pyrenees. The group emerged as a local initiative to provide proximity media coverage in a mountainous, largely rural territory where national and regional media had limited presence. From its base in Ripoll, it gradually expanded its activities across several branches of communication. Over the following decades, the group grew into a multi-platform media organisation. According to its corporate website, it currently manages more than fifteen communication companies, including production houses, local media outlets and digital services. Its operations cover radio, television and the press, and it has developed digital news portals such as ripollesdigital.cat and garrotxadigital.cat to reach audiences beyond its immediate territory. The group's central installations are in Ripoll, with additional facilities in Olot, the capital of the Garrotxa comarca. A significant milestone came in December 2018, when Corisa Media Grup received the Premi Nacional de Comunicació in the Proximitat category from the Government of the Generalitat de Catalunya. The award recognised the group's long trajectory as an "example of a local communication medium that embraces all branches of communication." The Government also noted that since 2010 the group has convened and organised the Premis Ripollès Líders, an initiative that further embedded it in the local business and social fabric. Corisa Media Grup has remained a privately held, independent local media company. It has not been listed on any stock exchange and does not appear to have been acquired by a larger media conglomerate. Its history reflects the resilience and adaptation of local media in Catalonia, expanding from traditional radio and press into television and digital platforms while maintaining a strong territorial focus on the Ripollès, Garrotxa and Cerdanya comarques.
