El Periodista Cl

In November 2001, the need to create a media outlet that would open spaces, generate debate and develop investigative journalism arose among a group of people who were interested in the country. After brief meetings, a lot of impetus and quite a bit of mystique, the magazine El Periodista was born. It hit newsstands on November 27. The cover title of that first issue was categorical: Would you become a partner with this man? The character was George W. Bush. The question, more than a question to the readers, was a declaration of principles and a preview of what the editorial line of the magazine is: an independent medium, which ensures respect for human rights, with memory and deeply Latin American. Aware of the need to multiply the messages of El Periodista, the magazine expanded, generating in April 2002 a program on radio Tierra (1300 AM), whose name was later changed to "Lo just y necessary" and which was broadcast from Monday to Friday between 12 and one in the afternoon until August 2003. Then, promoting the complement that the Internet allows, www.elperiodista.cl emerged. According to his statement, behind El Periodista there are no political, economic or religious groups. Simply people - with ideological diversity - but deeply democratic and aware of the need to strengthen pluralism.
