Diarios Comunales

http://www.diarioscomunales.cl/
They are a group of young people who work to provide communal news, addressing the problem of information centralism that exists in Santiago and the provincial capitals. Their teams are made up of people from various professions and with a common dream of delivering a social service to all the communes where they are present, understanding that spaces are required to connect with the local reality, real problems, complaints and everything that happens in the communes of the Region of Coquimbo, Atacama and Antofagasta. The network of communal newspapers is made up of the following sites: El Comunal El Serenense El Coquimbano El Vicuñense El Paihuanino El Andacollino El Montepatrino La Perla del Limarí El Hurtadino El Punitaquino El Combarbalino El Canelino El Salamanquino El Illapelino El Vileño
