This is an independent information space whose only requirement is freedom of expression, guaranteed by the National Constitution of Paraguay. It was born in June 2008, as a student information blog and then expanded to become a space for disseminating news, university information, literary publications and opinion articles on topics ranging from national education to international politics.

As of December 2016, they have resolved to convert Ñacurutu News into a company with commercial objectives, through a Strategic Plan that they implement.

In addition, the Online Radio that bears the same name is born (www.nacurutunews.com). Alternative space for the dissemination of programs with specific content, focused mainly on philosophy, history, education, political science and entertainment. Its main interest is the dissemination of programs that have a specific purpose.

Likewise, Ñacurutu News Global (http://paper.li/f-1378919152), a digital newspaper, uses the Paper.li platform to disseminate information from media and news agencies, which summarizes it in a single material that they share via the Internet.
