Cronicawan was Peru鈥檚 first and only state-supported Quechua-language newspaper, published in 1975 during the Revolutionary Government of Juan Velasco Alvarado. As both a tool of state making and a rare platform for Quechua-language journalism, Cronicawan offers valuable insights into Indigenous media representation and engagement in issues like agrarian reform, extractivism, community, and revolutionary discourse in 20th-century Peru. You can learn more about the newspaper and about the digitization project. View the credits for important information about the origins and creation of the project.
