What INFOnews.com does

INFOnews.com (legally Infonews Cooperativa) is an Argentine worker cooperative and digital news outlet founded in January 2011 in Buenos Aires. The publication employs approximately five journalist-owners — including Director Pablo Albornoz — who collectively own and govern the editorial direction under the banner 'periodismo cooperativo hecho por periodistas' (cooperative journalism made by journalists). It serves a Spanish-speaking Argentine general audience with coverage across ten thematic sections: Politics, Society, Economy, World, Latitudes, Alucinema (cinema), Oír Mortales (music), Palabrerío (literature), Geekye (technology), and Todoshow (entertainment), with a progressive editorial stance emphasising human rights, feminisms, labour, and cultural democratisation.

The platform is built on the Digipress CMS for Digital Media and distributed through infonews.com with topic tagging, section filtering, and advanced search. It maintains organic social channels on Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, and YouTube, but operates no mobile app and no public API. Commercially, INFOnews does not rely on advertising; instead it runs a reader-funded cooperative membership programme with two monthly tiers (ARS$500 premium and ARS$250 basic) processed through MercadoPago via automatic debit. Members receive a weekly newsletter with original production notes, access to exclusive special reports on human rights, feminisms and diversities, cultural democratisation, and environmental care, plus entry into sweepstakes for event tickets and gifts.

The entity has no external parent company, no venture funding, no disclosed partnerships, and no M&A activity; it remains a privately held cooperative domiciled in Argentina serving a single-country Spanish-speaking market.

Emerging players

• Cosecha Roja: Argentine cooperative journalism project focused on rights, gender, and social movements. Comparable as a small cooperative journalism entity in Argentina covering adjacent thematic verticals (human rights, feminisms) that overlap with INFOnews's special-report topics.
• Chequeado: Argentine fact-checking and nonprofit investigative news organization with partial overlap on the nonprofit/independent journalism axis. Comparable as a nonprofit Argentine news entity, though narrower in scope (focused on fact-checking rather than general news).
• LatFem: Latin American cooperative feminist news outlet. Comparable as a Spanish-language cooperative journalism platform; partial overlap on the feminist and human rights coverage verticals INFOnews highlights to members.

Broad incumbents

• Infobae: One of Argentina's largest digital news platforms covering politics, economy, world, culture, and entertainment across all sections where INFOnews also publishes. Comparable as a broader incumbent competing for the same online news reader in Argentina, though ad-funded and at vastly greater scale.
• La Nación (Argentina): Major incumbent Argentine newspaper with national politics, economy, world, and culture coverage. Comparable as a generalist Argentine news outlet competing for the same reader pool, though established print/digital incumbent rather than cooperative.

Direct peers

• Página/12: Argentina's flagship progressive daily newspaper covering politics, economy, and culture with a left-of-center editorial line. Directly comparable to INFOnews as a politically-aligned, independent-leaning Argentine news outlet targeting similar Spanish-speaking readers.
• Tiempo Argentino: Argentine cooperative newspaper owned by its workers (also born from the rescued Tiempo editorial cooperative), covering politics, society, and culture. Most structurally comparable peer — same worker-cooperative ownership model, same generalist Argentine news scope, same progressive positioning.
• Agencia Paco Urondo: Argentine cooperative news agency covering politics, human rights, and culture with progressive editorial positioning. Structurally and editorially comparable — both are Argentine worker-cooperative news operations with similar ideological leanings.
• El Diario AR: Digital-first Argentine news outlet with progressive editorial positioning, covering politics, economy, and society. Comparable as a digital-native, ideologically-aligned competitor targeting similar audiences in the Buenos Aires online news market.
• Letra P: Argentine digital political news outlet focused on politics, economy, and government coverage from a progressive viewpoint. Comparable as a digital-native Argentine news competitor in the political coverage vertical.
