Spanish free daily Qué! was down €3.235 million EBITA in the first quarter, Newspaper Innovation reported Thursday.

The Vocento-owned title launched in January 2005.

Vocento bought Qué! from the Recoletos group in July 2007, according to Newspaper Innovation. The group stated in a PRNoticias article that the loss is mainly due to an advertising downturn of -11.3 percent, which could not be made up for by a 1.2 percent increase in unit sales.
