The newspaper Depor was established in 2009 and it became the market leader in sports print media, after displacing its competition of the time: Líbero (La República), Bocón (Epensa) and Todo Sport (La Razón). Unlike other media organizations in the “El Comercio” group, Depor.pe was established as an editorial that integrated its content production for print and digital versions. By 2015, Depor.pe had become the sports news website with more online audience in Peru reaching an average of 5.8 million unique users per month, according to the IABPerú. This year Depor.pe changed its domain to Depor.com to internationalize its content and compete with other international media in the region.
