Interviú (a Spanish Anglicism for "interview") was a Spanish language weekly news magazine published in Madrid, Spain. It was in circulation between 1976 and 2018.

History and profile

Interviú was established in 1976 in Barcelona by a group led by Antonio Asensio Pizarro and Josep Llario. It was first published on 22 May 1976. The publisher of the magazine was Grupo Zeta which was also founded by Asensio Pizarro in 1976. The magazine was published weekly on Mondays, and its headquarters was in Madrid. The magazine was famous for publishing semi-nude and nude photographs of the rich and famous, sometimes using paparazzi photoshoots or posed pictorials. In this last case the subjects were normally women, typically Spanish actresses and singers. It also published interviews with politicians and articles on political and economic scandals and it featured opinion pieces by famous writers. Another notable inclusion was news photographs that were considered too violent or gory for use by the daily press. Its last issue was on 8 January 2018. Grupo Zeta explained this was due to financial reasons and changes in the way the public consumes news.
