Juan Carlos Rousselot (June 24, 1935 – July 8, 2010) was an Argentine radio and television personality, newspaper publisher, and former mayor of the Greater Buenos Aires suburb of Morón.
Rousselot was born in Árbol Solo, a rural outpost in Tapenagá Department, Chaco Province, in 1935. He debuted on radio when, at age 18, he stood in for an absent broadcaster on LT5 Radio Chaco. He later worked the news daily El Territorio, and in 1958, relocated to Buenos Aires, where he joined Radio El Mundo.
Rousselot hosted a talent show on Radio Rivadavia from 1964. He later became a television anchorman on a Channel 11 evening news program, El Diario Alpargatas; among his milestones at the program included live coverage of the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing. He would be appointed spokesman for the Argentine Navy in 1972, and in 1973, for the Minister of Social Welfare and head of the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance, José López Rega.
Obtaining a loan from the Ministry, he relocated to Resistencia, capital of his native Chaco Province, and purchased an ailing news daily, Diario Norte, persuading his brother, Ricardo, to join him from Chicago. He also served as director of Public Television from May to August 1975. 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 El Norte's own profits, and at far below its market value.
