Oiga! (Spanish for "Hey!") was a Peruvian weekly magazine that ran from 1948 to 1995, founded by Basque-Peruvian journalist Francisco Igartua.[1] It ran through different periods that were twice interrupted due to its opposition to the different Peruvian governments of the 20th century, with Igartua being either incarcerated or exiled a number of times. The first such event took place under the government of Manuel A. Odría in 1948, and continued with the government of Juan Velasco Alvarado.[2]

Journalist Magaly Medina was a known collaborator for the magazine.[3]
