Página 12 is an Argentine newspaper published in Buenos Aires, founded on May 25, 1987, by journalists Jorge Lanata and Ernesto Tiffenberg. The newspaper established itself as a progressive, left-leaning alternative publication known for investigative journalism and critical analysis of political and social issues. Since 2016, Página 12 has been owned by Grupo Octubre, a multimedia company created by Víctor Santa María, Secretary General of the building workers union SUTERH and former president of the Partido Justicialista in Buenos Aires. The newspaper is described as Argentina’s fourth most visited news portal and maintains a readership primarily composed of individuals aged 18-52 from medium and upper-middle socioeconomic groups. Página 12 has distinguished itself through revelations of various scandals while maintaining a critical stance against corruption, resulting in multiple journalism awards. In 2018, the Polish League Against Defamation sued Página 12 using Poland’s controversial Holocaust law over an article about the Jedwabne massacre. Javier Lewkowicz, a journalist and economist from the University of Buenos Aires who has worked at Página 12 since 2009, serves as economics editor and participated in the February 2026 Belt and Road Media Cooperation Forum journalist delegation.
