The group spans newspapers, cable (Cablevisión), TV and telecoms.
Funding
Financed commercially through advertising, print and digital subscriptions, and the broader Grupo Clarín media-and-telecom business; private and state advertising are significant revenue lines.
Affiliation & stance
Privately and commercially owned with no party or state ownership, so it is classified as INDEPENDENT. Editorially it leans centre-right and has been a fierce critic of Kirchnerist governments (clashing notably over the 2009 media law), which colours its coverage but does not amount to party or state control.
