Original article: 900 mil veces gracias: El Ciudadano celebra junto a su comunidad nuevo hito en Instagram
At El Ciudadano, we have reached 900,000 followers on Instagram, and we want to begin with the most important thing: thank you. Thank you to every individual who follows us, comments, shares our posts, recommends us, and believes that independent journalism, with a critical eye and serving the community, is still possible.
This milestone is not just a pretty number to showcase on social media. Above all, it is a sign of trust. Behind those 900,000 followers on Instagram lies a community seeking to go beyond the big headlines, wanting to understand what is happening in Chile and the world, and knowing that many relevant stories are left out of traditional coverage.
Therefore, every interaction matters. When you share an article, comment, send a post to someone else, or recommend our account, you help crucial topics such as human rights, the environment, science, culture, feminism, indigenous peoples, and social justice reach a wider audience.

Independent Journalism Together with the Community
This achievement also reminds us that free journalism needs community. It cannot stand solely on good intentions; it requires active readers who accompany, question, disseminate, and support.
In this journey, the Pasaporte Ciudadano has been crucial in strengthening this project and allowing us to report with greater depth, without relying on external interests conflicting with the public’s right to be informed.
We continue to grow, but we do not want to do it alone. We want to keep walking with you, breaking the information barrier, and giving space to voices that are often left out.
900,000 thanks. Here’s to reaching a million.
