Etiqueta Negra (magazine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Etiqueta Negra (Spanish for "Black Label") is a monthly Peruvian magazine of narrative journalism style, also published in Panama and Chile. Founded by Julio Villanueva Chang and currently edited by Daniel Titinger, it counts with the contribution of renowned writers, journalists and artists of Latin America. Inspired by American The New Yorker, Etiqueta Negra publishes chronicles, essays and reports.
From its beginning in 2002, first bimonthly and then monthly, each Etiqueta Negra issue focuses on a main subject (cinema, erotism, fashion, cuisine, etc.) from several perspectives and using a number of techniques: from the photographic chronicle to the essay, from the report to the interview.
In 2008 an issue by The Virginia Quarterly Review dedicated to South America was nominated for the National Magazine Award. That issue was edited and published by VQR in alliance with etiqueta negra.
