There are several strong news blogs in English in Mexico, some of which I've added to my links on the right (with the help of my friend Darrel). This week, at Mexico Reporter, Deborah Bonello reports on the shooting death of a reporter in Michoacan. The blog emphasizes issues related to the suppression of journalists and freedom of expression in Mexico.
At Mexico Monitor, Franc Contreras recently re-posted a piece from the Chronicle of Higher Education about an administration-faculty rift at UDLA, one of the most prestigous universities in Mexico, in Puebla. At Uncovering Mexico, Cox newspapers' Jeremy Schwartz reports on a new line of Converse that take the commercialization of iconic painter Frida Kahlo to a whole 'nother level.
In Spanish, I'm a regular reader of DFinitivo and Vivir Mexico, Gothamist-style group blogs that give you a complete picture of the constantly evolving buzz in the capital: the festivals, the premieres, the exhibits, the scandals, the ice rink.
