“El Mostrador and Primera Línea: The Limits of Progressive
On-line Journalism in Chile”
El Mostrador and Primera Linea are Chilean newspapers
published only on-line started in 1999 and 2000
respectively. They represent efforts to create a daily
information source on the left in the absence of a print
daily. The paper will discuss their origins and the
economic and political constraints limiting their
development, including the closure of Primera Linea in
January 2003. |
