ElDestapeWeb.com
El Destape is a news portal focused on politics and economy with a profile that opposes Mauricio Macri’s administration. It is owned by Talar Producciones, a company founded by journalist Roberto Navarro, who is also its Editor-In-Chief.
The portal’s content is free, though it uses a subscription system that allows readers to make a voluntary contribution to fund the project. Even though it had received $1.8 million in official advertising from the Argentinian Government in 2015, it did not receive any funds from the Argentinian Government in 2016, 2017 and 2018, during Mauricio Macri’s administration.
In July 2018, the site published several articles based on a research about political party Cambiemos’ fake campaign donations in 2015 and 2017, which led to a formal claim.
It is one of the most visited news websites in Argentina, with 0.10% of digital audience according to SimilarWeb (October 2018).
