August is out!
The 5,000-foot view on August:
C.J. Schexnayder's debut in our pages is a hoot. Peruvian snail herders (wranglers? ranchers?) are out to dethrone the French. A good read, and a good example of the short stories right there under your nose.
A classic, well done here, is the big domestic company looking to get bigger. Read up on Ecuador's Pronaca, which seems like a sleepy food company till you find out they nailed the Wal-Mart deal. They are hungry for more, writes Spanish Editor Andrés F. Velázquez.
Sometimes a story is so big it's hard to even approach. No such problems for Bill Hinchberger and Mexico Correspondent Marisol Rueda, who teamed up to conquer the burgeoning deals between private investors and government to fix infrastructure -- roads, bridges, rail, even production facilities -- across Latin America. This will be a big story for us for a decade or more, and we're out ahead on it now. Good work.
Telecom can be a brain-bender of acronyms and meaningless promises. Paul Harris cuts through the rubbish and gets companies talking on the record about their plans to use the Internet to slash the cost of business. Lower overhead = bigger profits. (Paul is also right on top of the growing Chilean business of wine tours, even scuba diving wine tours.)
Is there a future in tech? Yeah, but probably not the one your university advisor told you about. News Editor Forrest Jones is on the trail of the incredible shrinking tech department.
Finally, Mexico Correspondent Marisol Rueda caught on to what is a fantastic, if kind of incredible, trend: Big U.S. companies test marketing Latin America first. That's what Microsoft is doing in Mexico City with its digital TV platform. Fascinating stuff.
