Periodismo para todos () was an Argentine investigative journalism television program. It is hosted by the journalist Jorge Lanata, it aired on Sunday nights in eltrece. It was highly critical during the Cristina Fernández de Kirchner presidency. In 2013, it won several Martín Fierro Awards including best news TV program and best journalistic work for Jorge Lanata. During Fernández de Kirchner's presidency, it was censored in several provinces of Argentina with governors aligned with the president: Tucumán, Formosa Mendoza and Río Negro.
Description The TV program opens with a "humorous" stand-up comedy, where Lanata comments on the political events of the week with jokes. These stand-ups are included as an homage to the late Tato Bores, who made similar monologues in his TV programs, which were also aired on Sunday nights.Plagios, homenajes e "inspiraciones" de la TV argentina The stand-ups feature a parody of the president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, made by the humorist Fátima Florez. The high success of the parody made by Florez was pointed by the magazine Noticias, which placed her on the main page.Cristina, cada vez más parecida a su imitadora
The theme song is "Fuck You", by Lily Allen. It was chosen to redress it after it was used in a telenovela of the state-owned TV Pública, in a poor Spanish translation. The opening features photos of the audience making the middle finger, which soon became the icon of the program.El “¡Fuck You!” de Lanata
The program was redesigned in 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina. The program did away with the live audience and the big setting, and featured just Lanata alone in a desk. The program was now called "PPT Box", and the intro and outro sequences make the visual effect of Lanata being inside a giant box.
Investigations
Most investigations made by Periodismo para todos generated political controversy. The first airing, on April 15, 2012, made an extensive investigation of the Boudougate, the scandal about the vice president Amado Boudou. Lanata made an interview with Carlos Raúl Schneider, who is registered as the head of "Tierras International Investments CV" a firm associated to "The Old Fund", led by Alejandro Vandenbroele, which invested million in Ciccone Calcográfica. Schneider is actually a poor pensioner, who was not even aware of the business involving him,Lanata regresó a la televisión con fuertes críticas a Boudou who signed papers without reading them and became a victim of identity theft.Jubilado, sin plata y "controla" Ciccone
Lanata made a report of the social and political conditions of the Tucumán Province, ruled by José Alperovich. He detailed the poor social conditions of the people and the wealth of the Alperovich family, which controls the three powers and all political institutions in Tucumán. As the program is censored in Tucumán, Lanata sought to present it live with public of the province. Alperovich did not allow that either, so the program was presented live from a house of social welfare.Lanata en Tucumán: cómo se vive en la provincia del “Zar” Alperovich

El Trece has a repeater channel in Río Negro, which shows all the programs of the network, with the sole exception of Periodismo para todos. The governor Alberto Weretilneck proposed Lanata to hold a public debate about the censorship, but Lanata refused. "Censorship is not debated, it is denounced. Show the program first, and then I will debate whatever you want", he said the following week.Censura en Río Negro: Lanata y una réplica desafiante en PPT
