Spanish term or phrase: un diario de referencia
No es frecuente que el diario de referencia de un país sea también el más vendido”, destaca Fulanito, quien espera superar la cifra de los 500.000 ejemplares a pesar de las dificultades por las que atraviesa la prensa mundial

I understand this to mean a serious newspaper with an important social and cultural impact, although I can't think how to say this in fewer words.

It is actually El País, in Spain, so anybody living in Spain will know what it means. I welcome your suggestions, TIA, MJ
