IPS Latin America



IPS has had a strong presence in Latin America for more than 40 years, with correspondents and stringers in every country, from Mexico to Brazil to Chile to Cuba. The IPS Latin America regional centre has been based in Montevideo, Uruguay, since 1994. Activities are governed by IPS–Inter Press Service (America Latina), an international NGO, based in Uruguay, established in 1996.

News service

IPS Latin America, along with the other IPS regional entities and the IPS Columnist Service , is a founding member of the IPS International News Agency . It manages and coordinates the Spanish news service of the Agency; edits every story written in Spanish; and translates the IPS news service coming from other regions from English into Spanish. It also manages and coordinates the IPS news site in Spanish , the IPS Latin America website , and the Portuguese news site , which all host a selection of stories from the international news service. The translation of stories from Spanish into English is also coordinated from Montevideo.

In addition, Agency technical and administrative teams work from the IPS offices in Montevideo.

Radio

A selection of IPS’ news production is adapted to radio format, and broadcast in 10–minute weekly radio programs in both Spanish and Portuguese . These broadcasts are uploaded to the IPS Latin America websites and distributed to more than 2,000 cultural, community, educational, and commercial radio stations within the region. Another seven–minute weekly program, focused on sustainable development and environmental issues, is broadcast in Spanish , within the framework of the Tierramérica project.

Terraviva

Latin America initiated and continues to anchor production of the multi–media TerraViva operations of IPS. Particularly interesting, for Latin American readers, is the Latin American edition of the TerraViva newsletter , also available free of charge via email.
