Background

Editorial Perfil is an Argentine publishing company whose portfolio includes the Perfil newspaper and the Noticias and Caras magazines. Jorge Fontevecchia co-founded the business in 1976. It publishes articles, investigations and interviews through its newspaper and magazine titles, combining printed publications with news websites. The company's publications include the English-language Buenos Aires Times.

Perfil launched the Buenos Aires Times in 2017, adding an English-language weekly and website to its publishing operation. The launch followed the closure of the Buenos Aires Herald, and the new paper drew on journalists associated with that title. Its initial editorial remit covered Argentina and Latin America, with attention to economic affairs, culture and sport.
