I’m not sure if I’m just overly emotional today, but I was moved when I read on The Latin Americanist that Chilean president Michelle Bachelet rushed to the aid of a child who fainted during a speech she was delivering at a school:
An 8-year-old boy who collapsed after a speech by Chilean President Michelle Bachelet could not have picked a better leader to have nearby: a former pediatrician and mother of three.

28 Feb 2007Vivito y coleando — alive and kicking. That’s Fidel‘s current state, according to an appearance he made yesterday on his homie Hugo Chávez‘s weekly radio show, Aló Presidente. If really interested, check out the video below (with a very LONG intro, unfortunately…let it load completely then fast forward through the guy in the suit), or just read my Cliff’s Notes after the jump.
Televisa to Sell Univision Shares

Mexican media megacompany Televisa isn’t happy with Univision‘s new choice of chief executive.
Broadcasting Media Partners Inc., the investor group that is buying Univision, announced on Tuesday that Joe Uva will become chief executive of Univision on April 1. Broadcasting Media Partners said it expects the acquisition to close in March.
Televisa and Univision have been at odds with each other over internet distribution rights and a program license agreement. The latest beef between the two stems from a rejected bid from Televisa to acquire Univision.

Cuba to Journalists : No Credentials For You

Three major media organizations were told adios, that they could no longer report from Cuba. The three news outlets are the Chicago Tribune, the BBC, and El Universal from Mexico. Two of the journalists have been in Cuba for a number of years. The Chicago Tribune’s Gary Marx was told he had 90 days to leave the island. Cesar Gonzalez Calero from El Universal can stay in Cuba because his wife is a credentialed Spanish journalist. The BBC is in negotiations with Cuban officials in Havana regarding the matter. The reason why the journalists are being asked to leave? Calero was told:…
his reporting was “not the most convenient for the Cuban government.”
Whenever the free reporting of information is threatened, it’s problematic, be it here in the U.S. or Cuba.
