Since its foundation, El Faro has been an effort to renovate the Salvadoran media, which has traditionally been dominated by conservative outlets as Telecorporación Salvadoreña, El Diario de Hoy and La Prensa Gráfica. These agreements would guarantee greater political freedoms, and better possibilities to conduct independent journalism. Their return happened six years after the end of the Salvadoran civil war, marked by the Chapultepec Peace Accords of 1992. They are sons of political exiles, and they returned to El Salvador, with the purpose of starting a newspaper that would completely change Salvadoran media. Jorge Simán, of Palestinian origin and Carlos Dada, of Greek-Lebanese origin, are the founders of the newspaper. The newspaper claims to be the first exclusively digital newspaper in Latin America ("El primer periódico digital latinoamericano"). El Faro is an online digital newspaper, founded in 1998.
