'''''Perú.21''''' is a [[Peru]]vian newspaper based in [[Lima]].

==Background== In 2002, ''Perú.21'' was founded by the economist [[Augusto Álvarez Rodrich]], and it has quickly become one of the leading newspapers of Peru, known for its provocative caricatures and cartoon publications.<ref>[http://www.desdeeltercerpiso.com/2008/11/botan-a-augusto-alvarez-rodrich-de-peru21/ BOTAN A AUGUSTO ALVAREZ RODRICH DE PERU.21], Desde el Tercer Piso (in Spanish) {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130923152752/http://www.desdeeltercerpiso.com/2008/11/botan-a-augusto-alvarez-rodrich-de-peru21/ |date=2013-09-23 }} (2024)</ref><ref>[http://www.limaeasy.com/stay-connected/newspapers-peru/peru-21 Peru 21], The Lima Guide</ref>

==Controversy==

In 2012, the official website of ''Perú.21'' was briefly blocked by the [[Government of Peru]] after it had published an article criticizing the government's budget management.<ref>{{cite web|last=Honorato|first=Liliana|title=Peruvian Congress restricts access to critical newspaper Peru21's website|url=http://knightcenter.utexas.edu/blog/00-9871-peruvian-congress-restricts-access-critical-newspaper-peru21s-website|publisher=[[University of Texas at Austin]]|accessdate=17 February 2013|archive-date=18 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200318181352/https://knightcenter.utexas.edu/blog/00-9871-peruvian-congress-restricts-access-critical-newspaper-peru21s-website|url-status=dead}}</ref>

A few months later, a former journalist who had earlier worked for ''Perú.21'' was arrested and imprisoned for hacking into the email accounts of government officials.<ref>(11 July 2012).[http://www.peruviantimes.com/tag/peru-21/ Former Peru.21 Journalist Released From Prison], The Peruvian Times</ref>
