Long lead times?

Don't hand me that. A good reporter sees the big story coming and reports it, no matter how long our publishing delay might be.

The New York Times had a nice story today, well-reported, about how Pemex needs to spend now or face the music when the Cantarell oilfield dies. Given how much of Mexico's public budget is based on Pemex making money, that's a big deal.

Mexico City Correspondent Marisol Rueda is all over Pemex in our July issue, including statements from Pemex head Luiz Ramírez Corzo and quotes from ExxonMobil and Petrobras on the issue of future deals. Great, industrial-strength reporting makes news happen.

Great work, Marisol!
