Background

Augusto O. Ramírez, a

newspaper editor from San Fernando, founded the first newspaper in Pichilemu, called El Puerto, on January 16, 1908.[2] Nine years later, on January 14, 1917, he founded El Marino, which was published in 33 different editions.[2]

History

Carlos Rojas Pavez, who had been working as municipal secretary of Pichilemu since 1937, founded on January 31, 1944, founded the Pichilemu newspaper.[2] Six days before, on January 25, Rojas along with José Arraño Acevedo and Miguel Larravide Blanco made the "Declaration of Release" (Spanish: Declaración de Publicación) to the Governor of Colchagua Province, the only requisite in Chile to publish a newspaper.[2] The first edition of the newspaper was distributed by shoe-polishers and newsvendors (Spanish: canillitas) in the main streets of the city.[2]

Only eight different editions of the newspaper were published in 1944.[2] In September 1949, the ninth and last edition by Rojas was published.[2]

In 1985, Carlos Rojas transferred the publishing rights of Pichilemu to Washington Saldías, who published the tenth edition of the newspaper on January 31, 1986, forty-two years after its first edition.[2] Washington published 28 new editions, between 1986 and 1990.[2]

Legacy

Saldías' project remained dormant until January 14, 2000, when he founded

Pichilemu News, the first online newspaper in O'Higgins Region.[2]
