Los Angeles Press

Los Angeles Press bills itself as an independent, nonprofit, digitally native Spanish-language journalism site based in Los Angeles, California, that seeks to “strengthen real democracy and the exercise of human rights.” It focuses on cross-border coverage with Mexico. They also see themselves as an alternative information space that takes advantage of “the intelligence of citizens and the potential of Internet users' information sources that help us denounce human rights violations and create news.” They also propose that they work through volunteerism, citizen journalism and financial micro-donations to be able to maintain their “ideological independence” and freedom of expression. This publishing company was created by journalist Guadalupe Lizárraga in November 2011, due to the need for independent journalism, focused on human rights. As he has published on his site, his mission is to do journalism that is capable of naming violence, and not just any violence. But the one that is indifferent to the public conscience, and the one that the public power tries to hide, that of the femicides, that of the missing women in Ciudad Juárez, and that of the false culprits to simulate justice. Los Ángeles Press has a team in the United States, Mexico and Spain and allied media such as: Libre red (Spain) 2011, From below (Mexico City) 2012, La Opción (Chihuahua, Mexico) 2017, Infosavia (Baja California, Mexico) 2023.
