- 3El Comercio· San Francisco de Borja, La Victoria, Provincia de Lima, Peru
Fundado el 4 de mayo de 1839, el diario El Comercio se ha convertido, por el esfuerzo de sus trabajadores y el reconocimiento del público, en el medio de comunicación de mayor credibilidad en el país.A lo largo de su más de siglo y medio de existencia, El Comercio no sólo ha cubierto los grandes acontecimientos y sucesos nacionales e internacionales, sino que además, en diversas oportunidades se ha identificado con ellos y ha sido partícipe, cuando no estímulo, de los mismos. El ejemplo más importante de ellos lo constituye, sin lugar a dudas, en el siglo XIX, la campaña por la libertad de los esclavos y en el siglo XX el llamado Plan del Perú, que buscaba realizar una radiografía completa del país y cuyo empeño para concretarse tomó cinco años. Además está la gran causa nacional que el diario no sólo auspició, sino también promovió de manera singularmente entusiasta: la colecta Pro Marina, que buscaba reemplazar al buque insignia de la Armada nacional, el crucero "Grau".En sus mas de 170 años de existencia, la historia de El Comercio ha sido la historia de la lucha por la dignidad humana, la soberanía nacional, el imperio de la Constitución y de las leyes, las libertades democráticas, la paz interna y la justicia social . Una lucha en la que no ha faltado nunca la defensa de los intereses del país y, la más importante de todas las libertades: la de prensa.
