Diario Norte is a local daily newspaper published in Resistencia, Argentina.
Norte was established in 1968. The publication was purchased in 1973 by anchorman Juan Carlos Rousselot, who persuaded his brother, Ricardo, to join him from Chicago. Following the March 1976 coup, Rousselot was arrested and his newspaper was placed under provincial receivership. Its subsequent purchase by Editorial Chaco in 1978 was alleged in a 1996 lawsuit by Rousselot to have been paid with the Norte's own profits, and at far below its market value; the suit was dismissed by the Supreme Court of Argentina in 2001.
