History

[edit]

In 1997, the Argentine publishing house Editorial Perfil announced plans to launch a "super tabloid" named Perfil.[1] It was first launched by Jorge Fontevecchia on 9 May 1998 as a daily publication, but poor sales forced its closure on 31 July of the same year.[4]

Perfil was relaunched on 11 September 2005 as a weekly tabloid, published on the day of highest sales; Sundays. The expectation was that after building a reader base they would be able to add a new edition on Saturdays and finally become a daily newspaper again.

It is currently published on weekends and has an online edition which is updated every day. In addition, the Sunday edition includes the women's magazine Luz.

Features

[edit]

Like many European newspapers it includes a section called the "Reader's Ombudsman", with the responsibility of maintaining the newspaper's reputation. Abel González was the first ombudsman in 1998.

Many of the articles, both in the printed edition and on the website, focused on critics of the Fernández de Kirchner government.[5]

Editorial Perfil is one of a number of publishing companies which do not receive any official governmental advertisements. It has claimed that the official distribution of advertising monies is "discriminatory" and a "method of persecution and exclusion" of critical media.[6]
