In each local edition they include local content and national news developed by the media group, not only from their newspaper reporters, but also from the radio and television stations owned by Multimedios.
It started in Monterrey as Diario de Monterrey, and expanded to other cities in the first decade of the 21st century.
During elections, Milenio publishes the acclaimed María de las Heras poll, that was the only poll in Mexico to predict the victory of Vicente Fox in 2000.
The newspaper also publishes a biweekly magazine distributed nationwide, and have their own 24-hour news channel.
The newspaper was criticized for publishing a daily poll which gave President Enrique Peña Nieto an 18-point lead over Andrés Manuel López Obrador 5 days before the election, while the real difference was 6.46%. Ciro Gómez Leyva printed a public apology, adding that they would "retire from electoral polling."
