The end is near

Well, no it's not, but the New York Times will soon stop printing stock tables, following in industry trend to push readers online for data.

February is out!

The February edition, our annual look at the hospitality industry in Latin America, had some pretty drastic changes, including a revamp of the ranking process to address quality of service and a one-off change in editorial style to first-person travel writing. Brazil Editor Carlos Adese stood out here with his grueling marathon of business-class flights to report on the state of high-end business travel.

Also excellent work was Spanish Editor Andrés F. Velázquez's editorial work on the Top CEOs in Latin America, which this year focused on women managers in the region whom top recruiters identify as possible corner office talent. Mexico Correspondent Marisol Rueda and Brazil Correspondent Margarida O. Pfeifer filed a great story alongside it, while Velázquez wired down the bios and photos of 34 key executives.
