Talk:The News (Mexico City)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm glad The News is back in operation. I miss it...especially the culture that sprang up around it. I wonder if the Ana Capri restaurant is still there....I wonder if the bar is still on the corner...I sure do miss Mexico City and working there...

[edit] Section Headings

These section headings aren't very helpful. "Roller-coaster Ride" and "The More Things Changed, the More They Remained the Same," sound more like chapters of a book than section headings for an encyclopedia. 152.7.15.87 (talk) 16:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Page created by "The News" staff?

This wikipedia page seems to have been written by staff of the newspaper. Can anyone confirm this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.243.169.73 (talk) 17:50, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I wrote some of the copy and would appreciate it if my name was not eliminated from the staff list every few weeks. I worked at the paper for more than a decade and if someone posting doesn't like me, that's one thing, but don't change history. I was national editor, taking over for Roberto Mena for awhile in the late 80s, and was also a reporter, section editor, and worked on the desk for more than 7 years. The paper did not begin with Dan Dial, Pat Nelson and the late 80s crowd. F.L. 24.153.206.155 (talk) 22:35, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

At last there is some balance in the editing of The News section. I have many additional names of reporters and editors who worked for the publication taken, in part, from Sheri's compilation published in the early 1980s. Let's honor all who have served and often sacrificed at The News. Boy...I could write a book about my experiences at The News. Redstar1945 (talk) 06:56, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

That article really does sound like someone's memiors. Can we get some citations here? Czolgolz (talk) 18:02, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes...the information contained in the entry was compiled by former members of The News Staff. Citations? Much of the information contained could indeed be considered "memoirs." Names of intelligence agency assets who worked at the paper have been witheld to avoid legal entanglements and possible criminal prosecution under U.S.law....But Cuban, Mexican, Israeli and Russian intelligence operatives shared information with some members of the The News staff identifying the CIA and British intelligence assets working with and for the newspaper. Of course this information was confirmed through a number of independent sources and methods. Anyway, many of the former intelligence assets and agents currently have executive positions within the U.S. corporate media. (Copley News Service, The Associated Press,The Hearst Corporation, and the Miami Herald, to name just a few). A good primer on the subject is Manuel Buendia's "The CIA in Mexico," published just before his assasination in broad daylight on the streets of Mexico City. (He outlined the Daniel James CIA recruitment campaign in Mexico).70.243.116.113 (talk) 09:09, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
