The usual Google Translate deal, banner is in Castellano and story will initially appear in that tongue, but wait a few seconds and it will change to English.

Obviously, I disagreed with his politics, but he was a major figure in Argentine journalism. Ironically, he was one of the co-founders of Pagina12.

May God grant him mercy and eternal peace.

For those who weren't around at the time, this is probably the best overview of his career and evolution:

De la revolución de Página/12 al Grupo Clarín: el complejo legado periodístico de Jorge Lanata

Gracias a su estilo mordaz y su capacidad para desafiar a los poderosos de turno, contó con una audiencia leal, aunque también cosechó detractores que lo acusaron de haber abandonado los ideales de independencia que profesó durante los primeros años de su carrera.

A doxxer of vedettes. Thief of private medical records. Oh dear. If this guy is the star of Argentinian journalism the country is in more trouble than I thought.

Always seemed he was against the political class, not on the side of one party or the other. A journalist who investigated corruption regardless of the party in control.
