Confidencial was known for its investigative journalism and critical analysis, a legacy that persists, but appears in the form of online.[3] The publication is often evaluated as an independent news agency operated by a small editorial team, as opposed to the Nicaragua's Sandinista government.[4]

Confidencial has two associated television news programs, “This Evening” and “This Week”.
