Clarín is a Chilean online newspaper, originally published as a print publication between 1954 and 1973, when it was closed following the coup d'état on 11 September. A new edition was published forty years later, on 11 September 2013, in collaboration with El Ciudadano. Clarín's slogan was "Firme junto al pueblo" (" strong with the people"). Clarín was conceived by journalist Darío Sainte Marie Soruco, known under the pseudonym of Volpone. The newspaper was first published in 1954, competing with evening newspapers Última Hora and La Segunda, but did not succeed; Clarín ended circulation two years later. However, Volpone purchased the rights cheaply and transformed Clarín into a morning paper, specialized in police news, and with cheap printing prices at the workshops of La Nación. The newspaper initially had a print run of 20,000 and 30,000 copies, covering Santiago de Chile and other cities. With its coverage of police news, it managed to sell up to 35,000 and 40,000 copies.
