La Nación is Argentina’s leading conservative national daily, a center-right broadsheet long identified with the country’s political establishment and its main competitor Clarín, according to English-language sources.
Wikipedia describes La Nación “as the country’s leading conservative newspaper” and notes it is “regarded as a newspaper of record for Argentina.”
The paper was founded in 1870 in Buenos Aires; Simple English Wikipedia and other histories trace its origins to the 19th century and to the political circles around Bartolomé Mitre.
BBC News lists La Nación alongside Clarín as one of Argentina’s leading national newspapers, describing the media landscape in which both papers operate.
Media-bias analysis sites and academic summaries describe La Nación’s editorial line as center-right or conservative, and scholarly work has characterized its historical role as elite and occasionally supportive of military governments in earlier decades.
Readers today typically encounter La Nación for its national politics and business coverage; its combination of editorials, opinion pages and in-depth reporting has made it a reference point in Argentine public life.
