Aristegui Noticias

What Aristegui Noticias does

Aristegui Noticias is an independent Mexican digital news outlet that publishes journalism across politics, economy, organized crime, environment, sports, culture, and international affairs. Founded by and branded around journalist Carmen Aristegui, the platform is operated by the privately held Mexican entity SAIO Servicios S.A. de C.V. and serves a general Mexican audience seeking independent reporting, with a particular focus on government accountability, corruption, and press freedom advocacy.

The platform is built on a WordPress CMS with a Next.js frontend, supported by category-specific RSS feeds and a live-streaming video product branded 'Aristegui En Vivo.' Editorial coverage is organized into nine verticals — México, Dinero y Economía, Naturaleza, Mundo, Deportes, Kiosko, Cultura, and Opinión — plus a dedicated Investigaciones Especiales section that has produced internationally collaborative projects such as NarcoFiles and ongoing series including 'Soldados del Huachicol' and 'Café del Bienestar.' A content partnership with Reforma newspaper extends distribution through a co-branded 'Última Hora' section.

Revenue is generated primarily through advertising, operated via a dedicated [email protected] channel, supplemented by content syndication through RSS feeds and the Reforma partnership. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the site appears to offer free access to general content. The outlet complies with Mexico's Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares (LFPDPPP). No funding rounds, headcount, revenue figures, or investor information are publicly disclosed.
