www.Larepublica.pe
La República was the first Peruvian daily newspaper to have a digital edition. The page was launched as a repository of news published on the print media. It started with the larepublica.com.pe website and migrated to larepublica.pe in 2008. In 2004 they relaunched the website which allowed easier access to the news. In 2006 a new change was implemented prioritizing the most important news of the day in the first snapshot. A multimedia section was added. News videos could be reproduced with flash. When they moved to the punto.pe domain, they started to update their own news for the website. The La República Group formed a team to write their own stories for larepublica.pe. Its content has a strong political component, which is also accompanied by sensationalist content produced for a clickbait.
