Recently downgraded when absorbed by the state department. Mostly useless when something like Kosovo is going on but dammed heavy Intel source otherwise. Will eat their own if the CIA tells them to but worth checking. Once excellent alternative Zapatista coverage including full IPS articles. However the new editor must have been bitten by a Mexican as a child.
Coverage is now inexcusably bad.
Maybe they will make a comeback. These guys support the Zapatistas. If you can find something newsworthy that fits their tech leaning format they will most likely do a good article for you. A must read for anyone involved in an online struggle. Some great Chiapas articles last year.
