El Bogotano was a daily evening newspaper tabloid, founded on 1 October 1973 by Consuelo Salgar Jaramillo in Bogotá, D.C., Colombia; it ceased publication in the late 1980s.
Despite its sensationalism, El Bogotano was also known for denouncing several political scandals in the 1970s, including a corruption case involving President Alfonso López Michelsen. It was also known for its infamous mistaken front page headline published on its 2 January 1974 issue that read: Maremoto en Bolivia ("Tsunami in Bolivia", a landlocked country), when Yamid Amat was its director.
