Confidencial was known for its investigative journalism and critical analysis, a legacy that persists, but appears in the form of online.[3] The publication is often evaluated as an independent news agency operated by a small editorial team, as opposed to the Nicaragua's Sandinista government.[4]

Confidencial has two associated television news programs, "This Evening" and "This Week".

In December 2018 the National Police of Nicaragua killed a journalist, detained two others and ransacked the office of Confidencial, taking its press room.[5][6]

International cooperation

Confidencial cooperates with the independent Cuba-focused magazine Havana Times, which is also based in Nicaragua.[7] Circles Robinson, editor of the Havana Times, is a columnist of Confidencial.[8]
