Buenos Aires Herald

[carride]

I see the BA Herald is quietly back. At least online as of December 18th with coverage of World Cup celebration. They stopped printing in 2017 after 140 years. I liked the days of reading the print newspaper in English a few days a week in the 00s. There is no mention of who or what media group is behind the scenes.

Buenos Aires Herald to close after more than 140 years of publication

The English-language newspaper in Latin America announced closure less than a year after switching from daily to weekly print edition

which side of the spectrum do they fall?

Interesting, to be sure. If you look at their coverage of this story-

‘Maybe they felt superior’: family, activists highlight racism in Baez Sosa murder - Buenos Aires Herald

Relatives, campaign groups and government officials say racism was a factor in the murder of Fernando Báez Sosa, the 18-year-old who was beaten to death

buenosairesherald.com

- it fairly closely echoes the angle of the K. I mean, condemnation of murder motivated by blatant racism shouldn't be a party issue. It should be something all condemn, but this being Argentina, ehhhhhhh.

Now why do you want to insult college frat papers like that?

Apparently Ambito owns it now, at least according to the website registration info; Ambito email, their street address in CABA, their phone number...

The same who owned it when they shut down in 2017.

The Herald is majority-owned by the Indalo Group conglomerate, which also owns local financial paper Ambito Financiero.

OK, here's a chuckle. According to their Wikipedia page, Grupo Indalo also owns C5N, and has since 2014.

Look at the section called Decada de 2010, the 4th paragraph, dealing with the events of 2014
