Digital news platform making economics accessible to Argentine audiences
El Cronista is a Buenos Aires–based news publisher transitioning from print to a subscription-driven digital model. Active projects reveal a product-heavy roadmap—paywall, app, newsletters, and new editorial formats alongside A/B testing and registration-flow optimization—while the org is hiring across product, design, and marketing. The stack is standard digital-media (Google Analytics, Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Jira/Asana/Monday.com for workflow) with no advanced adoption signals, suggesting the challenge is execution discipline rather than technical infrastructure.
El Cronista is a longstanding Argentine newspaper founded in 1908, now operating as a digital-first media business covering economics and business news. The publication operates across digital channels, print, and events, reaching readers through a website, app, newsletters, and social platforms (Meta, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube). The company is actively building toward a subscription model, with current projects spanning paywall implementation, mobile app development, community features, and new editorial formats. They employ approximately 51–200 people, mostly based in Argentina.
El Cronista uses Google Analytics for measurement, Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and Figma for design, and Jira, Trello, Asana, and Monday.com for project management. Distribution leverages Meta, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitch.
Key projects include paywall and subscription infrastructure, a mobile app, newsletters, new editorial formats, A/B testing and UX redesigns, and data-driven user research to inform product priorities.
