La Mula (English: The Mule) is an online newspaper in Peru that was created in June 2009.
History
La Mula emerged in 2009 during a period when the mass media in Peru became very centralized.[1] In 2016, it partnered with other news outlets including La República to create Perúleaks, a whistleblowing platform based on citizen reporting.[2] During the 2021 Peruvian general election, La Mula was part of the fact-checking project Ama Llulla, which was created to combat fake news.[3] By 2022, La Mula received 7% of the weekly online news readership in Peru.[4]
