El Grito Del Sur

El Grito del Sur is a popular media outlet, born in 2012, that combines committed journalism with a millennial and transfeminist perspective. This independent medium is defined by its cooperative and community approach: "they collectively build inwards and foster ties with their audience outwards." With a critical outlook and a commitment to social justice, El Grito del Sur seeks to "listen before giving an opinion," to narrate facts that matter through all available formats and platforms. In their innovative spirit, they seek to invent new forms of communication if the existing ones are not enough to reflect the complexities of reality. They seek to do "free but not solemn journalism, where tenderness and empathy always take place." Their content ranges from reports on their digital portal to a monthly newspaper distributed in neighborhoods, weekly newsletters, audiovisual content on social networks and a broadcast list on WhatsApp. The editorial office operates from the former clandestine detention center Virrey Cevallos, today a Site for Memory, reinforcing its link with memory and human rights. El Grito del Sur also integrates and is a founding member of the Digital Media Network, helping to make visible the work of independent journalism that grows from the grassroots.
