El Espectador
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El Espectador is a newspaper with national circulation within Colombia. It changed from a daily to a weekly edition in 2001. In 1986, the editor of El Espectador, Guillermo Cano Isaza, was assassinated in front of the newspaper offices after publishing articles critical of Colombia's drug barons. The World Press Freedom prize, awarded annually by UNESCO, is named in his honor.
El Espectador was founded by Fidel Cano on March 22, 1887 in the city of Medellín. Among its past contributors is Colombia's Nobel laureate for literature, Gabriel García Márquez.
