History

It was founded on April 5, 1904, and is Bolivia's oldest newspaper still in publication. It started as an evening paper, becoming a morning paper from the eighth edition; from edition 18 it started publishing daily dramas. [2] In 1967, it started printing a few pages in color, and in the following decade, it adopted the offset system. [3]

On April 5, 1953, coinciding with its 49th anniversary, El Diario inaugurated its first teletype service, which had a terminal manufactured by Westrex Corporation. [4]

The newspaper was usurped on September 7, 1970, when Juan José Torres became president of the republic, suspending its publishing until September 1, 1971. [5]
