What Revista Anfibia does

Revista Anfibia is a Buenos Aires-headquartered digital narrative journalism magazine founded in 2012 and operated as an academic initiative of the Universidad Nacional de San Mart\u00edn (UNSAM) in Argentina. The publication covers politics, economics, environment, culture, gender, health, education, and technology through chronicles (\u00b7cr\u00f3nica\u00b7), essays (\u00b7ensayo\u00b7), podcasts, and multimedia storytelling, with editorial categorized across Ambiente, Amor y sexo, Culturas, Educaci\u00f3n, Pol\u00edtica y Econom\u00eda, Pol\u00edticas de g\u00e9neros, Salud, and Tecnolog\u00edas. It serves a Latin American general-audience readership interested in long-form and investigative journalism from regional perspectives, plus graduate students in journalism and communication via a 100% virtual Master's in Narrative Journalism offered jointly with UNSAM. Its core technology is a digital publishing platform spanning a website, a dedicated podcast portal, and virtual educational programs; no mobile app, API, or proprietary software products are disclosed.

The company monetizes through three primary revenue streams: (1) the Comunidad Anfibia subscription program, offering tiered monthly and annual plans denominated in Argentine pesos (monthly ARS 5,000-11,000; annual ARS 50,000-99,000) and US dollars (monthly USD 5-20), with benefits including monthly newsletters, event invitations, workshop discounts, and partner discounts at vendors such as MUBI and Ediciones RGC; (2) tuition-based educational programs, including the Maestr\u00eda en Periodismo Narrativo and the Diplomatura en Inteligencia Artificial y Pr\u00e1cticas Creativas; and (3) paid creative and journalism workshops (\u00b7Talleres Anfibia\u00b7) including podcast production, AI experimentation, digital narratives, and creative writing. Distribution is exclusively digital via website, podcast, and MercadoPago subscription processing, with physical merchandise available for pickup in Buenos Aires' Chacarita neighborhood.

Anfibia extends its footprint through the annual Futuro Imperfecto international festival (three editions completed in 2023, April 2025, and May 2025; a fourth planned for 2027 to coincide with Anfibia's 15th anniversary), a coordinating network of 16 Latin American media partners (Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Cuba, M\u00e9xico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay), the Anfibia Rosario regional edition launched in 2024, and strategic collaborations with the Pulitzer Center, OXFAM Am\u00e9rica Latina, Reporters Without Borders, and the Finnegans Cultural Center. Ownership sits entirely within UNSAM's institutional framework, with no external venture, private equity, or public-market capital disclosed.
