The online version was launched in 1995, with no restrictions on access and a Google-based search that includes the historic archives of the newspaper. The website is hosted by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
Many of the newspaper's editorialists have academic affiliations with the UNAM or the Colegio de México.
It occasionally translates and includes op-eds from Robert Fisk, Noam Chomsky, James Petras, Howard Zinn, Greg Palast and others. Fidel Castro also repeatedly contributed to the newspaper as an author.
Noam Chomsky described La Jornada as "maybe the only real independent newspaper in the hemisphere".[5][6]
