Model Organization of American States (MOAS) - Newspapers

Latin American Newspapers

These newspapers are recomended for local new coverage of various nation-states around the hemisphere. For the University Model there is a weekly assignment to retrieve an article from a country for a Week In Review session. Students will abstract and then answer questions from classmates so as to begin to construct a hemispheric wide picture of international and domestic affairs from around the Americas.
