Founded in 2007, El Diario de Santiago came into being as the digital news platform of Radio Santiago, operating on 690 AM, with the goal of providing Chilean readers with timely, accurate, and pluralistic coverage of national and international affairs. The outlet was designed from the start to reach audiences without geographic limitations, relying on internet access and social media distribution, and in 2018 it became the first fully digital daily in Santiago. Today, El Diario de Santiago operates under Radio Santiago, designed by Olivos Munizaga SPA, headquartered in Santiago, Chile. Today, El Diario de Santiago is mainly focused on Chilean national politics, general news, science, health, environment, and community interest stories from their base in Santiago, Chile. One interesting fact: Despite launching as a companion platform to a traditional AM radio station, El Diario de Santiago officially declared itself the first digital daily newspaper in Santiago in 2018, a milestone that repositioned a legacy broadcast brand as a digital media pioneer.
