Native digital media outlet from the Dominican Republic, founded in 2011 by journalists Fausto Rosario Adames and Gustavo Olivo. Since its inception, it has positioned itself as a reference platform in the country, characterized by its commitment to investigative journalism and information transparency. Acento covers a wide variety of topics of national and international interest, including politics, economics, culture, human rights, and social issues, always with a critical and analytical perspective. One of Acento's strengths is its focus on issues of corruption, government transparency, and citizen rights, in which it maintains a rigorous style supported by verifiable data. The medium stands out for its editorial independence and for providing a space for debate and opinion, publishing columns by different analysts and personalities from the Dominican Republic and other countries in the region. With a digital audience that includes Dominicans both inside and outside the country, Acento has been able to adapt to the evolution of digital platforms, using social networks and short videos to expand its reach. In addition, it has its own YouTube channel, Acento TV, where it presents interviews, reports and political analysis programs, which contributes to consolidating its role as a modern and versatile media in the information landscape of the Dominican Republic. As a digital medium we have managed to gain the trust of its readers for its independent journalism and its active role in the development of a well-informed and critical citizenry in the Dominican Republic. We have our own agenda and a professional team. Its founders are journalists recognized for their work in the investigative area and have been pioneers in the launch of digital media. Our mission is to inform readers of news and information on the Internet in the most objective and complete way possible, especially Dominicans anywhere in the world.
