[edit] History
The newsgroup started with the influential daily from Monterrey, El Norte, in the early 1980s. The company attempted to build a newswire service, called Infosel, which would additionally give detailed business information to subscribers. Infosel later diversified and also started offering Internet dial-up service, and had a web-based news portal.
El Norte started publishing in Mexico City in 1993 under the name "Reforma", named after the Mexico City avenue Paseo de la Reforma. In 1997, the paper started publishing in Saltillo under the name "Palabra" (Spanish for "word"), and in 1998, it entered Guadalajara with the name "Mural".
The four newspapers, and Infosel, where all consolidated into a company called Grupo Infosel.
In 1999, Terra Networks, a Spanish telecommunications company, bought Infosel's interests in Internet dial-up and business news. The four newspapers and the newswire service where consolidated into a new company called "Grupo Reforma".
