El Faro

El Faro is a journalistic project that was born in May 1998 in San Salvador, and whose main expression is elfaro.net, the first native internet newspaper in Latin America. El Faro is committed to investigative and in-depth journalism and is agnostic regarding its platform: it does journalism in various genres and formats both online and in offline and traditional media such as radio, books, documentary films and in-person events. Since its birth, El Faro has had a Central American vocation and has become in a regional benchmark of independent, transparent and reliable journalism that covers corruption, organized crime, migration, culture, inequality, impunity and Human Rights, both supervising state bodies and the different economic and social spheres of the region. Since April 2023, El Faro moved its administrative operations to San José, Costa Rica due to attacks on press freedom in El Salvador. Its coverage focus continues to be Central American with emphasis on El Salvador.
