2001 (Diario 2001) is a Venezuelan newspaper. It was established by Bloque De Armas in 1973, launching its first edition on 2 July 1973 under the directorship of Rafael Poleo. Initially launched as a competitor to the evening newspaper El Mundo of rival media group Cadena Capriles, its sales did not meet expectations (despite its distinguishing use of colour printing) and it converted to a morning newspaper.
