    The web site I would like to share with the class is:

    http://www.americahabla.com

    Someone sent me this URL via e-mail along with the
    message, "in case you're interested." When I scanned
    the site, I was immediately fascinated, for it is the
    web page of "America Habla," a news program in Spanish
    of international coverage produced in the United States.
    The main menu provides access to many other sites
    pertaining to Latin America. One such site is "El
    Kiosko Multimedia," which contains current issues
    of over 210 Latin American periodicals. There is also
    access to "Argentina Show," the first Spanish-speaking
    program to be transmitted via internet from the US.
    This site impressed me so much because I know from
    personal experience how difficult it is to find current
    newspapers from Latin America here in Boston. Most of
    the Hispanic television and radio stations are geared
    to a very specific audience and the coverage is
    very limited. The incredible selection of news events
    and their easy access offered by "America Habla" brings
    closer together Latin American current affairs and
    Latin Americans in the US.
