La Cuarta (Spanish: The Fourth One) is a Chilean daily tabloid and part of the Copesa group. The newspaper is famous for its tone and plebeian style of headlining stories. The newspaper began publication on 13 November 1984. On 17 November 2017, the newspaper changed its logo and format, with the newspaper now published in Berliner, instead of tabloid.[1]
One of its main features is a weekly insert of nude photographs.
This tabloid is notable for being directed to an audience of middle and lower socioeconomic strata. It uses the Chilean Spanish non-formal register with a series of slang and informal expressions of Chile. It also addresses issues that are mostly of a sensationalist, mostly about sex, crime reports and on the national entertainment news, this last section is called La Cuarta Espectacular and differs from the rest of the day as to design.
The style of writing and presentation of content are closer to the red or yellow press Style The Sun (UK), The National Enquirer (US) and Bild-Zeitung (Germany). It also approximates the style of the late Clarin (1954-1973), but without the political emphasis contingent left-wing
La Cuarta is part of Periódicos Asociados Latinoamericanos (Latin American Newspaper Association), an organization of fourteen leading newspapers in South America.
