This organization was created as an alliance between journalists and critical citizens and as such is managed in a cooperative way. It is the second largest newspaper in sales in Uruguay, and 80% of its income comes from membership fees. In its twelve years, it has proven itself to be an innovative information company, not only because of its journalistic approach but also for having created its own marketing channel that allows it to control the entire chain. Some of its priority focus areas are gender, human rights, minorities, and youth, in addition to disseminating alternative models of development linked to solidarity, economy, cooperation, and entrepreneurship. The organization recognizes that it is positioned within a business industry with high cultural impact and with great challenges ahead: the sale of information is a productive activity, it is also a social function - keeping the citizenry informed - and as such it requires businessmen willing to prioritize the common good over profit. For this reason, it places high strategic importance on continuing to improve a model of collective ownership and self-management in the press sector in alliance with a community of readers.
