Proceso (Spanish: "Process") is a Mexican news magazine published in Mexico City. It was founded in 1977 by journalist Julio Scherer García, its president until his death in 2015. Proceso is renowned for its left-wing journalism.
This magazine was founded during the term of President of Mexico Luis Echeverría Álvarez after political pressure caused Scherer to be expelled from his position of editor of Excélsior. Artists and intellectuals donated paintings, ceramics, sculptures and photographs to be auctioned to finance Comunicación e Información, S.A. (CISA), the magazine's publishing company.
Scherer and other ex-columnists and reporters founded Proceso, edited by CISA. The first years of the magazine were difficult and the board had problems issuing paychecks to its staff. A year later, the director of Proceso, Miguel Ángel Granados Chapa quit to join the newspaper Unomásuno. Then Gastón García Cantú, a columnist, left the publication because of an article published in Proceso questioning his designation as director of the National Institute of Anthropology and History. During the presidency of José López Portillo(cousin of Scherer) there was a flirting with the magazine that finished with Lopez Portillo's anger, saying "No pago para que me peguen (I don't pay to be beaten)" and pressuring the magazine by withdrawing governmental advertisements.
In 2000, Francisco Ortiz Pinchetti, one of the founders and most known reporters of the magazine, with his son, Francisco Ortiz Pardo, a reporter himself, covered Vicente Fox´s campaign. One of their texts was changed and mutilated by editorial board, to present Fox in a negative light. After a public correction was published in the magazine, both were expelled without explanations. The story was explained in the book El fenómeno Fox: la historia que Proceso censuró [1]
