Página/12 is a newspaper published in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Página/12 was founded on May 25, 1987, by journalist Jorge Lanata in association with writer Osvaldo Soriano and investigative journalist Horacio Verbitsky. Owned by Fernando Sokolowicz, a former militant in the far-left ERP insurgency active during the early 1970s, the daily was bailed out financially in 1994 by Grupo Clarín, which retained a stake.[1] Lanata claimed in a 2007 interview that businessman Rudy Ulloa (a business partner of the late former President Néstor Kirchner) also owned a share.[2]
Among Pagina/12's leading writers are the internationally renowned investigative journalist and author Horacio Verbitsky; historian Osvaldo Bayer; political scientist José Natanson; the Cervantes Prize winning poet Juan Gelman; football journalist, novelist and comic author Juan Sasturain; and Uruguayan journalist and writer Eduardo Galeano.
The publishers also distribute a supplement covering Rosario area news, Rosario/12, since 1991.
