Buenos Aires Herald

[semigoodlookin]

Hello,

Does anyone know the cost of the Buenos Aires Herald. I know I will find out next time I am out but I need to know now and cannot find anything online that I understand.

Kind regards

I am reading here 16 pesos: http://kiosko.net/ar...res_herald.html

16 pesos daily save for Sunday when it is 18 pesos. At the moment....

Am I the only one that finds it difficult to read, as if it were thrown through a slightly smarter version of Google Translate?

They also desperately need an editor, as in the grammatical kind. One time I was so annoyed I copied their article to MS Word, bold/highlighted/marked with red the errors and sent the piece back to them.

English is difficult, I get it, I'm sure I've made several mistakes in this mini rant, but I also don't write what us supposed to be the English language paper for the city...

ARbound, you're spot on.
It's an English speaking newspaper: ergo they should get it right first time.
Sometimes it's agony reading their articles and frankly, embarrassing.

Only slightly...

I recently came across a summer-abroad kind of program by the University of Belgrano on Latin American Studies (PEAL), and they offered the program both in Spanish and Italian. The page advertising the course in Italian is terrible, and the entry form is even worse. I e-mailed them a correct copy of their Italian, bit my tongue, and offered my help. Nobody replied.
Kudos to them if they can find somebody paying to attend it.

Remember that the Buenos Aires Herald newspaper and the Buenos Aires Herald online are two different entities with different editors, staff and offices.

Both are particularly underfunded and short-staffed. Furthermore, there aren't many native-English speakers who are attracted by the salary.

Why don't they simply hire native translators abroad to translate local news into English?

They could use some of the native-English students roaming around Palermo SoHo as unpaid interns.
