'' Unomásuno '' is a Mexican daily tabloid-style newspaper based in Mexico City . Its name originated from the idea that the contributions of a reporter and the participation of readers were meant to be one . In Spanish , " one plus one " is spelled '' uno más uno '' ; by joining them together as '' Unomásuno '' , the founders were symbolizing the unification of both concepts . The newspaper was formed on 14 November 1977 , by Manuel Becerra Acosta , a journalist who worked for the newspaper '' Excélsior '' . '' Excélsior '' , known for its critical stances against the Mexican government , was headed by Julio Scherer García throughout the 1960s and '70s . The '' Excélsior '' team he hired was made up of independent and critically minded reporters . Its articles appealed to Mexican readers because of their independent viewpoints and the newspaper 's criticism of government officials . The government was particularly concerned with '' Excélsior '' s coverage of the mass murder of student protestors by the Mexican Army in 1968 . To end its critical stance against the government , the administration of Mexican President Luis Echeverría ( 1970 – 1976 ) channeled money to the newspaper 's employees to stage a coup against Scherer García . '' Excélsior '' s staff was already divided internally , and the newspaper was having financial problems because of poor management . On 8 July 1976 , at least 250 staff members walked out of the '' Excélsior '' offices in Mexico City , the majority of them permanently
