El Bogotano is a daily evening newspaper tabloid, founded in 1973 by the journalist, politician and businesswoman Consuelo Salgar Jaramillo in Bogotá, D.C., Colombia and suspended its physical publication in the early 1990s.[1] For a long time the editor of the newspaper was Yamid Amat, a renowned Colombian journalist and radio broadcaster.Currently its director is "Tagor".
Despite its sensationalism, El Bogotano was also known for denouncing several political scandals in the 1970s,[2] including a corruption case involving President Alfonso López Michelsen.[3] It was also known for its infamous mistaken front-page headline published on its 2 January 1974 issue that read: Maremoto en Bolivia ("Tsunami in Bolivia", a landlocked country), when Yamid Amat was its director.[4]
In 2016, `La Casa Editorial el Bogotano` resumed the tradition of the newspaper founded in 1973, through a virtual version on Twitter (@elBogotano). Creating journalistic, opinion content and communicating news from Colombia and the world.
