firmwith the people



 The Chilean newspaper called The clinic is a ironic, satirical and funny  newspaper and website. The newspaper was created by Patricio Fernández Chadwick in November 1998. The name was inspired by Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet's October 1998 arrest in Britain at The London Clinic. In its first publication, it was only a few pages long, distributed only in Santiago, and costing 100 pesos. Over the course of its short lifetime it has changed a lot and how the teacher says “before the clinic was funnier”, now costs 700 pesos and had more pages, it is published every Thursday.

The Clinic talk’s about the news with humor and a social critique,
at the bottom of each page, the statement Sabía usted...is a very short comment  which can be obscene, bizarre. And a few times the newspaper comes with a little magazine with random things for example a male test, a history test, etc…

I really like this newspaper because it always keeps me informed about the week, but I mean really informed not the cheat what we see in the television,   and each time I read no matter what news it make me laugh
