Deia (in Basque, The call) is a Basque Country-based newspaper incorporated in 1977, with a Basque nationalistic perspective.
The newspaper is bilingual in character though principally written in Spanish with some articles in Basque. Deia is the main product of the Editorial Iparraguirre S.A. (EISA). Although their initial objective was to cover news in the whole of the Basque Country, they actually have as their tag line Noticias de Bizkaia, as their principle market is in Biscay, where they are the second largest newspaper in the city.[1] Deia is part of the newspaper group Grupo Noticias, which includes several other Spanish newspapers including Diario de Noticias in Navarre, Noticias de Gipuzkoa in Gipuzkoa and Noticias de Álava en Alava.
The current director of the newspaper is Iñaki González Torre.
