DESCRIPTION
La Información was a newspaper that covered the general affairs of the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua and ran from the 14th of September of 1917 until ceasing its operations in 1981.
The content in this newspaper featured a large swath of what are now historical events in Bluefields, Nicaragua, 1917-1981. Its reporting covered mainly local, as well as national and social news, sporting affairs, and advertising from the period. The lived experience in Bluefields during those years can be seen through this publication.
The digitization of the newspaper “La Información” was completed through a project funded by LLILAS Benson Latin American Studies and Collections, at the University of Texas at Austin. The project digitized 90% of that collection, with the rest being lost in 1987 due to a Category-5 hurricane that destroyed 95% of the city of Bluefields. Part of the publication was lost and it was impossible to recover.
