Rebelión is a nonprofit news site, started in Spain at the end of 1996 by a group of journalists. It contains scientific and opinion articles covering topics such as, current affairs, free knowledge, culture, ecology, economics, and resistance to globalization. Texts by and translations to Spanish of authors like Heinz Dieterich, Noam Chomsky, Marta Harnecker, Eduardo Galeano, José Saramago, Gabriel García Márquez, Julio Anguita, Vicenç Navarro and Ralph Nader have been included in Rebelión.
Rebelion emerges in 1996, developed from Spain by a nonprofit group of journalists who boosted another model of communication not dependent on large media or market conditionings. The site doesn't have physical location and works through organization by sections with a responsible assigned by section.[1] The ideological orientation of published contents is based on:
(...) to accommodate all the voices that honestly and sincerely try to bring some clarity and truth on behalf of the people and silenced by the mainstream media. (...) For those who are only the voice of power, money and neoliberalism, there is no place in Rebelion, they already have CNN.
According to their promoters, it is an alternative means which publishes news that are not considered important by traditional media. Furthermore, it tries to give a different news treatment to "showing the interests that economic and political powers among the capitalist world hide in order to preserve their privileges and current status". It rests on Non governmental organizations and people who work to "change the world from a radically different, more just, equal and balanced perspective".
