Confidencial

“The information on this media profile was collected through desktop research.” Currently, Confidencial Digital is part of a media conglomerate directed by renowned journalist Carlos Fernando Chamorro from exile. Confidencial is a multimedia digital newspaper with news from Nicaragua, analysis, interviews, investigations and reports. The media conglomerate also includes Esta Semana, an audiovisual informative magazine transmitted through the YouTube platform due to censorship by the regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo. At the beginning of 2019, the television program Esta Semana was arbitrarily removed from the television schedule, as was the weekly interview program, Esta Noche. In December 2018, the Ortega-Rosario regime - accused of serious violations of human rights and freedom of the press and expression - confiscated the newsroom and the main building where the media conglomerate operated. Then in May 2021, the regime once again confiscated a second discreet operating office of Esta Semana. The fierce persecution against the independent press and journalists by the Ortega-Murillo regime has forced more than 150 journalists into exile, including Carlos Fernando Chamorro, winner of the 2021 Ortega y Gasset award for his professional career, as well as the 2010 María Moors Cabot Award from the School of Journalism at Columbia University, United States. Unidos.Confidencial Digital was relaunched on March 1, 2010, as an interactive digital newspaper. The printed edition of Confidencial magazine circulated in Nicaragua since July 1996, as a means of information and analysis among a group of subscribers characterized as decision makers in the government, diplomatic, private sector and civil society spheres.
