About La Nación

Paper Of Record Leans rightRead with context

La Nación was founded in 1870 by former Argentine President Bartolomé Mitre and associates. It is currently owned by MNMS Holding and the Mitre Family. The parent company, SA La Nacion, is 70% owned by Barton Corp., an investor group based in the Cayman Islands, and 30% by the Noble Mitre Saguier family. Julio and Alejandro Saguier are President and Vice President of the board of directors.

Media Bias/Fact Check rates La Nación as right-center biased, noting its editorial positions slightly favor the right and it often uses loaded words to support conservative causes. Ground News also rates its bias as Lean Right. While Media Bias/Fact Check and Ground News rate its factual reporting as high or very high, the outlet has a strong partisan lean. A notable controversy occurred in 2015 when an editorial titled 'No más venganza' (No more revenge), which called for reviewing the situation of ex-military personnel detained for human rights abuses, drew widespread criticism, including from its own staff, and was perceived as supporting military coups.
