About Latin America Report
From the publisher's feed
In South Florida, Latin America and the Caribbean are a local story - and the Latin America Report, which was a weekly WLRN feature from 2013 to 2023, looked at how the two often intersected and…
affected each other politically, economically and culturally. Its award-winning reports included the six-part Migration Maze series, which examined new U.S. policies to address illegal immigration at its source in Central America instead of at the border; the three-part series Escape From Venezuela, examining the Venezuelan refugee crisis in South America and Venezuelan exile efforts to alleviate it; and reporting from Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria 2017, which revealed how Florida Puerto Ricans essentially filled the aid needs that U.S. relief efforts couldn’t.
