Re Metropolitan, Catalonia Today's pilot issue states it won't be gunning for the Tetley tea and Test match expat market, but you can bet that full-page advertisers La Caixa and Deutsche Bank won't want to bankrole a daily. Peeving that the monthly Barcelona Business (69 issues of hard news under the belt) is not acknowledged...

I think the word "newspaper" is usually used to refer a daily publication, otherwise <a href="http://www.cataloniatoday.info/">their claim</a> to be "The first catalan newspaper in english" (sic) would ring a bit hollow.
