El Faro is a journalism project born in May 1998 in San Salvador, and whose main product elfaro.net, was the first digital native newspaper inLatin America. It is committed to investigative and in-depth journalism, and it produces work in various genres and formats online and offline: radio, books, documentary cinema, and face-to-face events.
Since its birth, El Faro has had a Central American mission and has become a regional reference for independent, transparent, and reliable journalism. It covers topics such as corruption, organized crime, migration, culture, inequality, impunity, and human rights, both on the national level and in the various economic and social spheres of the region.
Since April 2023, El Faro moved its administrative operations to San Jose, Costa Rica, due to attacks on press freedom in El Salvador. Its focus continues to be Central American with emphasis on El Salvador.
