The newspaper elDinero was born with a clear and ambitious mission: to fill the void of specialized information on economics and finance in the Dominican Republic. Founded on February 3, 2015 by the economic journalist Jairon Severino, along with a team of professionals committed to editorial excellence, this media outlet positioned itself from the beginning as a benchmark for investigative economic journalism.
From its conception,
elDinero was committed to offering truthful, useful, and analytical content that would serve as a tool for decision-making in all productive sectors of the country. Its focus is not limited to reporting data or publishing official bulletins: it distinguishes itself by doing
proposal journalism, which delves into the causes, interprets the consequences, and proposes solutions, with a responsible and rigorous look at the facts that impact the national and international economy.
The media outlet is directed by
Jairon Severino, who has guided the evolution of a journalistic team that is committed to technical and ethical excellence. Under his leadership,
elDinero has clearly defined concepts previously little explored by Dominican media, such as the
Financial District of Santo Domingo, and has developed a unique style for analyzing fiscal and monetary statistics, consolidating itself as a reliable source for entrepreneurs, investors, academics, authorities, and citizens interested in the country’s economic development.
Throughout its trajectory, it has generated a wide production of specialized content, published in thousands of printed and digital pages, becoming an essential channel for understanding the present and economic future of the nation. Its impact has transcended traditional media, also becoming a
subject of study in universities, academic theses and professional training spaces.
One of its main contributions to the economic ecosystem has been the creation of the
elDinero Economic Forum, a debate platform where the main challenges, opportunities, and transformations of the Dominican economy are analyzed. This space has brought together prominent business leaders, public officials, and sector experts to foster the exchange of ideas with a vision for the country.
elDinero has also distinguished itself as a
school of economic journalism, with an editorial staff that has served as a platform for the growth of journalists who today hold relevant positions in public, private, and international organizations. This professional legacy makes it a reference not only for its content, but also for its contribution to the development of human talent in the area.
In its evolution, it has launched innovative projects such as
elDinero Mujer, a magazine specializing in highlighting the role of women in the national economy, under the direction of
Danielis Fermín and
Katherine Vásquez. This initiative has marked a new approach in economic coverage with a gender and equity perspective.
Likewise, the
elDinero Podcast has expanded the reach of the medium towards digital audiences, addressing economic and financial topics in an accessible manner, promoting
financial education and democratizing economic knowledge.
The model of
elDinero is
multichannel. Its print editions, its digital platform, and its social networks are articulated to reach different audiences with the same level of depth and rigor. This strategy allows specialized information to be accessible to both decision-makers and the average citizen interested in understanding the economic environment.
elDinero‘s vision is clear: to be an
instrument of national development. Its journalistic work goes beyond the daily situation and is projected as a strategic source to accompany the transformation of the productive sectors, the country’s competitiveness and the consolidation of a better informed citizenry.
