MinutoUno.com

Minuto Uno became one of the most visited news portals in the country as the digital face of Grupo Indalo’s media, which includes radio stations, newspapers and TV channel C5N. Minuto Uno was born in 2006 as a project thought by journalist Samuel “Chiche” Gelblung, who left the project three years after its creation, and financed by businessman Carlos Miguens. In 2011 Minuto Uno was purchased by Grupo Indalo.

It is a free current affairs news portal with a focus on tabloid and breaking news.

Grupo Indalo’s crisis (caused by the arrest of its main shareholders) impacted on the portal’s workers, who received their salaries in installments and saw how the site’s editorial team was significantly reduced as authorities changed.

The site’s number of visitors also fell last year. Yet, it still ranks among the ten most visited news websites in Argentina, with 0.15% of digital audience according to SimilarWeb (October 2018).
