CrossBorder UPDATER

The IRC's Americas Program generates a steady flow of commentaries, investigative articles, policy briefs, special reports, think pieces, citizen's guides, and other publications on a wide range of policy issues related to hemispheric integration, U.S.-Mexico/border issues, and inter-American affairs. We promote to our bilingual listservs select full-text articles and short announcements of additional articles available for viewing or download at our website. Accordingly, the amount of email you receive from us will be moderate and the materials you receive from us via email will be low-bandwidth, concisely presented for easy scanning and reading, and printer-friendly.

Please note that because our audience is largely an international, bilingual one we include announcements of new Spanish-only or new Spanish-language translations of previously published English-language analysis in the CrossBorder UPDATER. At the same time, the layout is designed so that readers who read only English can easily locate items of interest in their language of preference.

UPDATER Transfronterizo

El Programa de las Américas del Interhemispheric Resource Center constantemente genera comentarios, investigaciones, informes políticos, reportes especiales, artículos de fondo, guías para ciudadanos y otros contenidos sobre un amplio rango de asuntos relacionados con la integración hemisférica y temas binacionales de México y Estados Unidos, así como su frontera. Por medio de nuestros listservs bilingues, promovemos algunos artículos enteros y resúmenes de otros disponibles en nuestro sitio en Internet. De esta manera, la cantidad de correo electrónico que recibe de nosotros será moderada, y los materiales que le enviarémos no necesitarán de banda ancha, sino que serán presentados en forma concisa para leerlos, escanearlos e imprimirlos con facilidad.

El formato está diseñado para que los lectores puedan localizar facilmente los artículos en su idioma de preferencia, español o inglés. Debido a que nuestra base de lectores es internacional y en su mayoría bilingue, incluimos avisos en UPDATER Transfronterizo de nuevos artículos sólo disponibles en inglés y de nuevas traducciones al inglés de artículos antes publicados en español.
