Noticias de la Semana (News of the Week) is a weekly newsmagazine published in Argentina, where it is known simply as Noticias (News). The magazine was founded by Jorge Fontevecchia in 1976[2] and published by him in a format similar to American publications such as Time or Newsweek.[citation needed] Noticias was known as La Semana (The Week) until 1989.[citation needed] The magazine is also known in Argentina for its loss of photojournalist José Luis Cabezas, who was murdered in 1997 on the orders of local shipping magnate Alfredo Yabrán.[3]

The magazines is part of Editorial Perfil.[2] Former President Néstor Kirchner reportedly ordered government advertising withheld from the magazine, as well from other media critical of his government, and privileged supporting media instead.[4] Editorial Perfil sued the government regarding this, and the Court supported the magazine's claim. Chief of Staff Aníbal Fernández denied any discrimination against the publisher, a statement refuted by Perfil.[5]

In 2014, Cardinal Mario Poli, archbishop of Buenos Aires, rejected the decision of the magazine, directed by Jorge Fontevecchia, to carry the image of the crucified president Cristina Kirchner on its cover.[6]
