History
In May of 2013 journalist Adrian Bono founded The Bubble with the mission of providing serious, in-depth coverage of Argentine news. Argentine telecommunications and media mogul Daniel Hadad is the company's primary investor.

National newspaper La Nación characterizes The Bubble as writing with "a diversity of opinions and the inclusion of as many voices as possible." While a majority of its readers are from the city of Buenos Aires, it has also been described as "an expat themed, English-language news, events and pop culture site that puts a humorous twist on Argentine happenings."

The Bubble has been publishing content daily since its inception and plans to continue to expand for its upcoming three year anniversary.

Coverage and content
The Bubble covers topics ranging from politics and economy to sports and media in an informal style and for that reason has been mistaken for a satirical news site in the past. The website's sections include: Latest News, Lifestyle, Sports, Featured Blogs, The Weekly Roundup, and Podcast.

Notable contributors
Various notable persons have contributed to The Bubble either as guest voices or as interviewees. Notable contributors include: journalist Osvaldo Bazán, Amnesty International Argentina executive director Mariela Belski, Australian Ambassador to Argentina Noel Campbell, and American Ambassador to Argentina Noah Mamet, among others.

Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner Drinking Game
On January 22nd, 2014 The Bubble posted an article covering rules for a Cristina Kirchner drinking game. The article went viral and was picked up by numerous other news sources including national newspaper Clarín. While many other media sources viewed the game as satire and defamation, Founder and CEO Adrian Bono cleared the air in an interview after the incident saying "The goal [of the article] was to inform a reader who would otherwise not read the news. The humor acts as a catalyst; it's cathartic. We weren't minimizing the seriousness of the situation, we were trying to get some of the drama out of it."

How to Dance Like Mauricio Macri Video
The day after the 2015 Argentine Presidential runoff election (November 23rd, 2015) The Bubble posted a video tutorial on how to dance like Mauricio Macri, who had been dancing in celebration of his campaign's success. The video, titled "Macri Daddy Dance," went viral and was even picked up by global news source CNN among many others. The video was "all the rage on social webs" according to Clarín.
