The publishers of Latin America have offered NACIA their 50%-reduced subscription rate ($25/year instead of $50) if NACLA is able to get 10 individual subscriptions (at $25). We already have one order and need nine more.
Latin America is an 8,000 word weekly newsletter (indexed quarterly) with reports on the latest political, economic and business developments in Latin America. Edited in London by a team of Journalists who have had first-hand experience in Latin America, the newsletter, according to its promotional leaflet, “is designed for those who need to know what is happening in that part of the world but who find most newspaper and magazine coverage inadequate and the specialist banking and academic reviews insufficiently up-to-date.”
The analytical feature articles and business and news briefs are written primarily from information supplied by the Inter-Press Daily Wire Service (IPS). Founded in the early 60’s by Christian Democrats and sold to the Chilean Foreign Ministry as a bulletin for its embassies, IPS has now severed its official ties with the Christian Democratic movement. The service is sold to about 100 newspapers and television and radio stations
in Latin America and has agreements with the Venezuelan and Peruvian governments. Its full-time team of 140 reporters and administrative staff is headquartered in Rome and its main operating center is in Santiago, Chile. While IPS covers Europe, greater attention is given to Latin America; the IPS directors’ aim is to build the service into a news agency which covers the entire Third World.
Latin America is the only English-language source for IPS news. Each issue covers the news of the preceding week up to Wednesday; issues are air mailed from London on Thursday evening, arriving in the United States on Monday. The above-mentioned reduced rate offer applies only to individual (as opposed to institutional) subscribers. If you would like to receive a sample copy of Latin America and a descriptive leaflet, or would like to enter a year’s subscription at the $25 rate (contingent on our assembling a total of ten), write to NACLA, Box 57, Cathedral Station, NC 10025. For more Information, write to Latin American Newsletters Ltd., Panton House, 25 Haymarket, London, SW, England.
