Presumably you have all received your Winter edition of NACLA Report by now (we promise, the next one will be on time!), with its very cool cover by Mexican illustrator Feggo? We hope you're enjoying an issue that editor Fred Rosen says "covers last year's elections in the Americas from angles you would not have seen in standard editorial reporting." Ensuring that outside voices enter into the public dialogue on Latin America and U.S. foreign policy in the region has always been NACLA's mission. We think the Winter 2012 issue represents an important contribution to that goal. 

To that end, I'd like to take this opportunity to highlight NACLA's digital coverage. Each week we publish four to five always-excellent, sometimes-controversial posts on timely topics ranging from U.S.-Mexico border security to Colombian democracy. This new and growing portion of NACLA reporting has been getting a lot of well-deserved online attention (read: rampant retweets, fiery debates in the comments section, reposts) in the blogosphere.

For example, NACLA author Keane Bhatt recently took This American Life/Planet Money reporter Adam Davidson to task for his various sympathetic portrayals of the Honduran charter city debacle. And this week, Joseph Nevin's unsettling story about the geography of migrant deaths in Texas is bouncing around the Twittersphere like a ping-pong ball in the Olympics.

As NACLA continues to transition into the digitized 21st century, our website will become an increasingly imporant portion of our progressive reporting. Read the blogs, pitch us an idea for a web article, retweet stories--don't miss out!
