This article analyzes the editorial positions of the newspaper El Cronista Comercial
towards the governments of the so-called “third Peronism” (1973-1976) and the
assumption of office of the last military dictatorship (1976-1983) through the coup d'état
of March 24, 1976. The newspaper, founded in 1908 and specialized in economic
information, had taken a turn in its editorial orientation since 1971 by becoming a
mass-selling newspaper, giving much more relevance to political information and other
areas. Its director and owner Rafael Andrés “Cacho” Perrotta, being a consummate
establishment man of the time, will give an unexpected ideological turn, when he
appears challenged by the popular demands of the time, that will be translate into his
approach to the most radical left organizations. In an intense context of Argentine
political life, El Cronista will be a lucid analyst of the dizzying political scenario, looking for institutional solutions that could solve what he considered genuine and unsatisfied
demands of the broad popular majorities.
