About Pravda.RU:Top Stories Argentineans Apathetic As Elections Are Underway Despite 27 April presidential elections are underway, people pays more attention to the events on Iraq than on candidates. As the country enters into the final stages of the first elections after the popular rebellion of December 2001, candidates cannot make the people talk about them.

Media Trends As Latin American newspapers grow in size and sophistication, they face many of the same problems as their U.S. neighbors The demographic and technological trends that have caused intense competition for American newspapers are beginning to weigh heavily upon newspapers in Latin America, Stacy Lynch reported during her session of the joint Northwestern University and Inter-American Press Association seminar in Miami. Lynch said that the newspapers in Latin America will continue to face greater fragmentation of audience as cable TV continues to grow. She also cites great opportunities for the Internet world. Among her points were: Age Disparities: Metro Areas More Important: Another trend that continues to shape life in Latin America is continued urbanization. In 1950 only 30 percent of Latin Americans lived in major cities. That number will reach 85 percent in the coming decades. Much of this will come from higher birth rates in cities rather than ongoing migration from rural areas. With greater urbanization comes greater exposure to media. The pace of change will continue to accelerate so ideas and new technologies will be accepted more readily. It also points to greater numbers of women working outside the home and lower fertility rates in the future. The structure of families will change as well as the routine of daily life.

Twelve nations, which represent about 81 percent of all deliveries in the region, had caesarean section rates ranging from 16.8 to 40 percent. Guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) recommend that caesarean sections should encompass more than 15 percent of all births. Researchers from WHO examined data from 19 Latin American countries. Their report, which appeared in November 27, 1999, issue of the "British Medical Journal," found the elevated rate of caesarean section births related to a higher income and social class. The section rate in private hospitals was much higher than in public facilities, which are generally free and serve a less affluent population than private facilities. Three countries reported that caesarean sections accounted for 50 percent of all births in private facilities. Giving birth by caesarean section involves making a surgical incision in the woman's abdomen, cutting into the uterus and then manually lifting the baby out. While the procedure has become much safer in the past few decades, it is still a major surgery and carries risks for both mother and baby. Caesarean sections are indicated only if it is not possible for the women to give birth vaginally and in emergency situations. The 15 percent figure was proposed by WHO in 1985, based on the section rate of nations which reported extremely low perinatal mortality. This WHO guideline has been adopted by the United States Department of Health and Human Services as a goal for the year 2000.

Launched as a simple Spanish-language search engine, the Miami-based company had quickly grown into a portal offering entertainment and news, and boasting more than 5 million registered users in Latin America. In 1999, Yupi raised $101 million from investors like News Corporation (NYSE : NWS ) and Sony (NYSE : SNE ). The company envisioned striking IPO gold and staking a claim in the burgeoning Spanish-language online world. "I was overwhelmed by the investor interest," recalls Oscar Coen, Yupi's chief executive.

But the 23-year-old left empty-handed, and disappointed by venture capital firms that weren't interested in investing in anything that wasn't within driving distance of their offices. When Mr. Casares, a sheep rancher's son, returned to Argentina, he approached local Argentine financial groups, only to be looked down upon for not wanting to climb up the corporate ladder within a stable company like everyone else. Mr. Casares's online financial services company, Patagon.com, eventually received a first round of funding from

Speeches San Diego Union-Tribune/March 29, 2002 U.S. presidents and the foreign media By Andres Oppenheimer of The Miami Herald MONTERREY, Mexico If President Bush did not convince many Latin Americans about the wisdom of U.S. policies during his four-day trip to Mexico, Peru and El Salvador last week, it may be because he did not try very hard, or because he did not try at all. In fact, Bush's performance here at an anti-poverty summit of more than 50 heads of state was a case study of why the United States often loses the propaganda war abroad. It is because the White House press machine devotes its entire energies to the U.S. media, and often does not even talk to the foreign press. Consider what happened here. President Fidel Castro of Cuba showed up at the summit a day before Bush, and made a fiery speech attacking the summit's U.S.-backed agreement whereby rich countries will increase their foreign aid to poor nations that follow free-market policies and respect human rights. Castro blamed the United States and other rich nations for carrying out a "true genocide" against the world's poor. Several Middle Eastern, African and Venezuelan officials applauded wildly.

November 3, 2002 New York Times Outside Halls of Power, Many Fear Free Trade By EDMUND L. ANDREWS QUITO, Ecuador Two heated debates about free trade took place here last week, yet they were so different they might as well have been on separate planets. The most visible one was at a meeting of trade ministers from the United States and 33 other countries, who tried to hammer out a road map for negotiating a free-trade zone from Canada to Argentina. The other was led by ordinary citizens. Inside a heavily fortified Marriott Hotel, the ministers were deeply divided about practical issues but shared many basic assumptions: more trade is better than less; open borders are better than closed; cross-border investment is healthy. The United States wants more access to Latin American markets for services like insurance, telecommunications and even health care. Latin

36. Latinos Find An America On The Border Of Acceptance --by Sergio Troncoso (sergio another reason for this dichotomy between recent public and media acceptance of a2000mile border with Mexico, and 500 million latin americans live south of http://sergiotroncoso.com/essays/immigrants/

Home Stories and Essays News Articles and Interviews Appearances ... E-mail Latinos Find an America on the Border of Acceptance By Sergio Troncoso Drawings by Jorge Enciso R ecently I have seen a deepening appreciation of Latino culture throughout America from literature to movies to popular music and art and I have never been prouder to say I am the son of Mexican immigrants. When I went to Harvard and Yale years ago, I felt like an alien, in more ways than one. Imagine starting out without running water and electricity on the Mexican-American border and finding yourself, at eighteen years of age, in Harvard Square. Many things seemed strange to me on the East Coast, but the strangest was the almost complete Euro-centric view in everything from economics to politics to philosophy. I was determined to bust open closed minds, to point them toward Latin America, Latinos, especially Chicanos. The future of America, as I saw it. Now that this future is arriving at a frenzied pace, now that the doors are starting to crack open for the popular acceptance of Latino culture, at least among the media elite, I see it's a pick-and-choose acceptance. There is little patience for discussing immigration issues and particularly the plight of day laborers and farm workers and other recent immigrants, who often can't yet defend themselves in English. Why this dichotomy? Men and boys salivate over Salma Hayek as an absolute babe. Having 'Lopez' or 'Martinez' for a surname doesn't disqualify you anymore from being a top box-office draw or the best pitcher in America's pastime. The definition of an intense and intelligent American actor has to now include one Benicio del Toro. And yet, in each case, if they are not outright Latin American, they are the sons or daughters of Latin Americans, recent immigrants to the United States who have made it, and big. Shall we not also turn our eyes to those poor immigrants in this country who are still struggling against racism and poverty and language barriers, who might one day raise a son or a daughter even Hollywood or MTV can be proud of?
