Notes

La Prensa reappeared in 1934 after legal disputes about its sale and Pedro Beltran was involved with the paper when he became involved with the National Agrarian Party. In 1950 Beltran became more involved with running the paper. He managed to send the newspaper's staff to training in New York and imposed severe labor discipline. The novel layout, the distinct headlines, and the excellent writing were an innovation in Peruvian journalism. Beltrán put into practice a system of awards added to salary and according to sales figures. The journalists who worked for the newspaper were already the highest paid in the medium. Beltrán is credited with introducing the objective style and inverted pyramid techniques to Peru, popularized by the Associated Press.
