'' La Prensa '' was founded by Pedro Belli , Gavry Rivas and Enrique Belli on March 2 , 1926 . In 1930 , Pedro Joaquín Chamorro Zelaya became editor-in-chief , and in 1932 he bought the paper with the intention of promoting the principles of the Conservative Party of Nicaragua , as well as publicising historical studies of Nicaragua . In 1931 the office building that housed La Prensa was destroyed , for the first time out of many , in an earthquake that hit Managua . '' La Prensa '' suffered its first censorship in 1934 under the orders of Juan Bautista Sacasa , for being overly critical of the government . This began a long history of censorship under many different governments
