IFM Noticias reported on 1 October 2026 that council study of Proyecto de Acuerdo 104 continues in October. The land-use revision would confine tourist lets in Medellín to mixed zones and metro corridors; platforms and host groups say it would leave short lets freely allowed in only 3.4% of the city.
The outlet belongs to Información y Noticias Media SAS and is led by its founder and executive president, José Ignacio Penagos Hincapié, from offices in El Poblado. It covers Medellín, Antioquia and national news and runs IFM Radio, the IFM Play streaming service and IFM Deportes.
Readers weighing its reporting should know its record. Colombiacheck, a Colombian fact-checker, reported in 2022 that the outlet had received at least 190 million pesos in public contracts and documented false claims it had published. Colombiacheck described the outlet as aligned with Álvaro Uribe's Centro Democrático.
