Lado B is a digital newspaper that was created in 2011 to cover local news in the city of Puebla, Mexico, that was not being reported on by traditional media.

It covers human rights from many angles in its news agenda, including topics such as transparency, accountability, gender, sexual diversity, and culture. It also has begun to venture into data journalism and fact-checking.
