U.S news magazines in Spanish?
Ed Kornkven
Does anyone know if there are any U.S. news magazines (e.g.
U.S. News & World Report, Newsweek, etc.) with Spanish editions?
Alternatively, can you recommend any non-U.S. news magazines in
Spanish. My goal is to keep up with the news and refresh my
Spanish at the same time. I'm assuming that a U.S.-based
magazine would have more in-depth coverage of U.S. news but if
that doesn't exist, another magazine with good world news coverage
would also be welcome. Thanks.

STATUS : UNMODERATED
CHARTER :
The purpose of this group is to offer a forum for the
discussion of all issues related to the Italian culture,
ranging from arts and entertainment to politics and cultural
events.
PERSONAL COMMENTS :
This group has been running under the trial hierarchy for the
last five months. Unfortunately, due to the scarce
distribution of the trial groups, only a few of the interested
readers have been reached by t.s.c.i., it is therefore
necessary to allow the creation of s.c.i. under the regular
hierachy in order to allow broader access to this much needed
group.
Even on something like 50 sites, as I estimate, the traffic
has been pretty intense on t.s.c.i. for the past 5 months.
Furthermore, the Italian Academic Institutions have just
recently gained access to USENET, so that an even broader audience
is now available for s.c.i.
VOTING PROCEDURE :
Votes will be now accepted for the period of 30 days, starting
on May 28th 1991 and ending on June 26th 1991 at 23:59 UT.
Votes shall be mailed to :
mar...@cs.ucla.edu
With the following subject line :
YES : soc.culture.italian
If you vote for the creation of s.c.i.
NO : soc.culture.italian
If you vote against the creation of s.c.i.
The exact format of the subject line is not important, as long as your
vote is unambiguous. This format makes it easier for me to count your vote.
Thanks for your time,

A bookstore in Columbus, Ohio used to carry a weekly news magazine
from Spain called "Cambio 16". It's format was very similar to Time
and Newsweek. BTW can anyone tell me what the significance of "16"
is to the people of Spain? I always wondered.
In both Columbus and Austin, TX, I have found bookstores that carry
a weekly Spanish newspaper called "El Pais." I actually like it much
better than the news magazine "Cambio 16." The journalism is better
IMHO. The editorial section of the paper is useful to non-Spaniards,
in that it often provides background information on the events described
in the news articles (slanted background information, but it helps anyways).
And the coverage of both European and Latin American news is *much* better
than is typically found in your local American newspaper. Of course it
covers big US news events too.
It is possible to have "El Pais" mailed to you on a weekly basis,
but the annual subscription is fairly expensive; I don't remember for
sure, but I think it costs at least $90 per year. I don't subscribe
to it myself, partly because of the cost and partly because I read
so slowly in Spanish that it usually takes me more than a week to
finish one.
There is also a monthly magazine called "Geomundo" that might
interest you. It is written in Spanish, but it is not a Spanish
magazine. It is full of beautiful photography. It is sort of
a cross between "National Geographic" and a travel magazine.
For instance in the most recent issue there are articles on
El Caribe colombiano
San Antonio (TX)
Poliforum Cultural Siqueiros
La casa de Hemingway
Recorriendo el Niger
100 dias en el Artico
El quetzal
Los invisibles seres que nos rodean
El automovil
In the past, I have seen articles on Madrid, Barcelona, Spanish
museums, Roman ruins in Spain, Spanish architecture, etc.
A subscription to this magazine costs just under $27 per year.
