MercoPress is an online news platform that was founded in 2002 by a group of journalists and media professionals who were dedicated to providing comprehensive coverage of news and events in the Mercosur region, a South American trade bloc that includes countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The idea behind MercoPress was to create a news source that would offer a unique perspective on the political, economic, and social issues affecting the Mercosur countries, with a focus on providing reliable and up-to-date information to both domestic and international audiences. Based in the Falkland Islands, MercoPress covers a wide range of news and topics, including politics, business, trade, culture, and sports, with a particular emphasis on developments within the Mercosur region. While the website's primary focus is on news and events in South America, it may also occasionally report on global developments that have a significant impact on the countries and communities it serves. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of MercoPress is its multilingual approach to news reporting. In addition to publishing content in English, the website also offers news and information in Spanish and Portuguese, reflecting the linguistic diversity of the Mercosur region and ensuring that its coverage is accessible to a wide range of readers both within and outside of South America.
