The New York Times Launches International Weekly Edition In Bolivia

Wednesday 08. July 2009 - The New York Times announced today it has launched its international weekly news supplement in La Razón in Bolivia . The section, which will be published in Spanish, joins a global network of newspapers that carry the international weekly, first published in 2002.

The international weekly retains the layout and typography of The New York Times and includes news coverage, features, commentary, color photos and graphics about the United States , world affairs, business, culture and social trends. It is prepared in New York by a team of editors and designers from The New York Times News Service .
“We are excited to welcome La Razón to the international weekly community,” said Cristian Edwards, president of The New York Times News Services Division. “We are honored to bring The New York Times to Bolivian readers through a publication that shares our commitment to quality journalism.”
“It is a privilege for us to include The New York Times international weekly in our pages,” said Grover Yapura, editorial director of La Razón. “Our agreement will expand the information we offer, which today is dominated by local news coverage, and it bring us closer to the global stage with which readers are less familiar. This is a new step for La Razón to solidify its position as a leading news provider in our country.”
Founded on May 16, 1990, La Razón is a national, independent newspaper based in Bolivia . The publication is owned by the Spanish group, Prisa, which edits, among others, El País, a daily newspaper in Spain . La Razón can also be found online at la-razon.com .
