El Telégrafo is a daily Ecuadorian newspaper.
The paper was founded on February 16, 1884 in
Guayaquil, Ecuador by Juan Murillo Miró, as an inde-
pendent and revolutionary newspaper where citizens
could freely express their opinions. Its name is due to
the use of the telegraph that the founder of El Telégrafo
firstly implemented in Ecuador to gather and spread
news inside and outside the country.
Since its foundation, El Telégrafo maintained a radical
and revolutionary speech that caused several arrests of
its members and made El Telégrafo a reference during
the Liberal Revolution period.
During this period, El Telégrafo hosted principal journal-
ist and writers of the country, such as Manuel J. Calle,
Medardo Ángel Silva, José H. Simmonds and Juan
Emilio Murillo.
Although El Telégrafo has always been run by the de-
scendents of its founder, nowadays it is managed by
the Public Administration, being the principal communi-
cation channel of the political reform called “Revolución
Ciudadana”.
Currently, El Telégrafo is a member of the Asociación
Ecuatoriana de Editores de Periódicos (Ecuadorian As-
sociation of Newspapaper Editors, ADEP), member of
the Sociedad Interamericana de Prensa (Interamerican
Press Society, WAN).
The main sections and supplements are General Infor-
mation Politics, Macroeconomics, Metropolitan Quito,
Guayaquil Metropolis, Facts, Culture, Society, Portrait,
Ecuador, Sport, World, Science and Technology, Enter-
tainment, among others.
El Telégrafo is part of a group that includes several
communication services such as Radio El Telégrafo
(770 AM) and Radio La Prensa (100.1 FM). Canal 12
depended as well on El Telégrafo, until 2002, when it
was sold to Canal Uno.
Its daily circulation is 450.000 copies.
Nowadays, El Telégrafo is one of the most read news-
papers of Ecuador.
