Página Siete was a daily newspaper published in La Paz, Bolivia.[1] It was founded on 24 April 2010.[2] Página Siete focused on politics and economics, but it also had social and culture sections. The government of Evo Morales made several complaints against Página Siete, leading to accusations of censorship of the press.[3]

In 2013, the then director, Raúl Peñaranda, resigned, citing the continuing attacks from the government, stating "The Government is resuming a cowardly attack on Página Siete, a low attack, a vile attack on us because we are an independent newspaper".[4]

After years of financial constraints, Página Siete published its final edition on 29 June 2023.[5]
