Background

Infobae was founded in 2002 in Buenos Aires by Daniel Hadad, an Argentine lawyer and media entrepreneur, initially as the digital arm of the financial newspaper Buenos Aires Económico. Hadad bought out his early co-investors and by the late 2000s ran Infobae independently under THX Medios S.A. The outlet is free to readers and relies on advertising revenue, with no paywall; it received a $10 million angel investment in 2018 to fuel regional expansion. Starting around 2013–2018, Infobae opened full newsrooms in Mexico City, Miami, Bogotá, Lima, and Madrid, growing into the most widely read Spanish-language digital news site in the world, with over 60 million monthly visitors across more than 20 countries. In its Argentine home market, the outlet has a consistent center-right editorial identity, marked by sustained opposition to Kirchnerism and Peronism, while demonstrating tactical flexibility — Hadad himself had ties to the Kirchner-era government before shifting. Media Bias/Fact Check rates it Left-Center by its own methodology (noting left-leaning story selection on some international topics), while Wikipedia describes its political alignment as center-right; the divergence reflects the difficulty of applying U.S.-centric bias frameworks to a Latin American outlet. Its fact-checking record is rated as high credibility. For U.S. audiences, Infobae's coverage of the Trump administration functions primarily as international news journalism — reporting on U.S. policies as they affect Latin America — rather than as a domestic partisan voice.
