El Norte (Monterrey)
Encyclopedia
History
During the decades of 1970s, 1980s and 1990s The North gained important successes in exposing corruption in government. Due to its principles of independent journalism, the federal government cut the paper to print the paper, so the company had to import it directly. At the end of The North won the battle against the then government monopoly (PIPS) import of paper for printing.Grupo Reforma is 85 years old. Began with the founding of the newspaper El Sol in April 1922, followed by North in 1938, the newspaper METRO in Monterrey in 1988 and renovated in 1993. Four years later in 1997 the newspaper born in Saltillo, WORD and the Metro in Mexico City. Mural in Guadalajara a year later. By 2004, born 2005 METRO METRO Saltillo and Guadalajara. In 2007 and 2008 born METRO State of Mexico and Puebla.
The Reforma newspaper founded in 1993 as a branch of the El Norte newspaper based in the city of Monterrey. Reform was the first newsgroup to spread its commercial division of the publishing division. This allowed great independence in his journalism, so that his journalists felt helped to avoid the temptation to write notes that favored advertisers.
When it was founded on 20 November, the newspaper unions pressured the newsstands to be sold that day. But November 20 is a holiday where you do not work and were opposed to this, so the newspaper had to be sold on the streets by the same journalists, executives and celebrities as a proposal for what they considered a "boycott ".
Reform completely changed its method of distribution because of its independence from the union newspaper and stallholders resellers of print media. Was innovative because it included even in the opinion pages of people with different political views.
Independent journalism Refoma Group angered the union, powerful company in Mexico City, just a year after birth. The union controls the distribution of all newspapers in the capital city and has been traditionally used by the political system to break down any publication that is considered unacceptable. The union led a boycott of the distribution of Reform in Mexico City in October 1994. Reform Group decided to establish an independent distribution channel to sell Reformation in the streets of Mexico City. The support of readers was incredible: the intellectuals, artists and ordinary people joined the staff of the Reformation in the process of creating this channel. Dozens of people lined the streets selling newspapers, verbal insults and even physical violence of the union were present. Today, Reforma is distributed independently to the homes of more than 100,000 subscribers, supermarkets and other outlets and for the readers on the streets of Mexico City. The daily average circulation of 200,000 daily copies.
The daily Reforma Group has opened a model of journalism is very different than any newspaper in the world. One of the cornerstones of this model are the editorial boards. Each section has an editorial board, a group of readers and leaders in the area of the section of interest that meet weekly or every two months to set the editorial agenda of the section. For example, the editorial board of the National Reform section may include an MP (member of the House of Representatives), a senator, politicians, members of NGOs, as well as normal readers, such as housewives, students etc. ..
The councils have complete freedom of action in establishing what the newspaper is covering. The council is led by the editor of each section, so board members are working with the person who is directly responsible for the daily operation of the section.
Each council meeting is divided into two parts. First, the council members criticize the content of the section since the last time they met. What went right? What needs to be corrected? What went wrong?. These and other similar topics are covered in this first debate.
During the next step in the session, the discussion focuses on the work ahead. What stories should be treated? What and who should do the interview? Is there a worthwhile event to be covered?. In this part of the meeting at which the program is defined by the editorial group.
Each year, 850 people are part of the editorial boards of 70 set the agenda of every newspaper editorial of Grupo Reforma. More than 8 000 people have been members of an editorial board during the 15 years that have been in operation. Participation is voluntary and therefore not paid to board members. The "payment" they receive is active participation in setting the agenda of one of the most influential newspapers in Mexico and so help to transform the country. The boards are renewed every year, but a couple of members are elected by the council to stay, so there is some continuity with the ongoing work that is left behind. Each quarter, the publisher provides a summary and report on all the suggestions that have provided and how they are applied in the section. http://www.facebook.com/pages/El-Norte/487467315503?sk=info
