La Nación was founded by Bartolomé Mitre on 4 January 1870, and the paper (referred to here as la nación) remains an active national daily based in Buenos Aires.
La Nación’s own website publishes Argentina and world news across politics, economy and culture, showing it operates as a full-service national newspaper today.
Historically, la nación traces to Bartolomé Mitre, who is credited as the founder; Encyclopaedia Britannica notes Mitre “was founder of the newspaper La Nación (1870).”
Today the paper runs a wide online edition with headlines, multimedia and opinion pages; the site’s front page lists politics, economy and sports sections and recent reporting from Buenos Aires.
For readers wanting more on La Nación’s profile and editorial stance, the site’s longform pages and profiles offer background and opinion coverage; a recent internal guide on the newspaper’s role appears in the site’s politics and opinion sections.
La Nación has long been a continuous daily newspaper since its 1870 founding and is widely cited in histories of modern Argentina for its cultural and political influence.
