agência latinapress

agência latinapress (often abbreviated lap or ALP) is a German-language news agency focused on Latin America and the Caribbean. It produces its content through the International Affiliate Press (IAP) and is headquartered in Toledo, in the southern Brazilian state of Paraná. The agency began operations on 4 October 2009, following the merger of the news portals "brasilien Magazin" and "HispaniolaNews". In 2011 the company BrasilOnline NetSolutions became International Affiliate Press (IAP), with which latinapress is associated. The agency's stated mission is to distribute news from Latin America and the Caribbean in German to a network of associated news portals. It positions itself as an alternative to major national and international news agencies and describes itself as entirely non-partisan. Beyond its headquarters in southern Brazil, it maintains an editorial office in Tutoia, in the northeastern state of Maranhão. Dietmar Lang, a journalist with a background in marketing, is the responsible editor, while the editorial team is led by editor-in-chief Michael Unsleber. In addition, writers, freelancers and correspondents report directly from countries including Haiti, El Salvador, Paraguay, Tobago, Argentina, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Peru and Colombia. The website's reach grew notably in its early years: in 2011 it recorded more than 700,000 readers generating roughly 2 million page views, and by October 2013 it offered around 17,600 articles. The homepage presents daily top news and thematic sections covering politics and economics, panorama, culture and media, science and health, nature and environment, family and social affairs, sport, and world and travel, with dedicated specials and columns on Latin America and the Caribbean. Typical coverage includes Brazilian elections, regional diplomacy such as Mercosur debates, natural disasters and seismic activity, tourism trends, and economic topics such as coffee production. The agency remains active and continues to publish German-language reporting on the region.
