La Jornada

Throughout many years La Jornada was characterized as having left-oriented editorial policy with focus on sensitive political topics that other media did not dare to cover. It was founded in 1984 by a group of prominent journalists. In recent years, the stability of the newspaper was endangered, mainly due to a drop in revenues due to the growing consumption of news over the internet, as well as blockages in official advertising.
