From today’s broadcast:

HEADLINES

Journalists have the moral obligation to publicly reveal their earnings, says AMLO. https://tribunadelabahia.com.mx/comunicadores-cuanto-ganan-amlo-53004

Questionable ties between AMLO and the Vidanta Group are brought to light. https://www.noticiaspv.com.mx/mcci-amlo-otorgo-concesiones-a-daniel-chavez-moran-de-grupo-vidanta/

It’s a catch! Local authorities relocate a 3.3-meter crocodile found near Los Tules. https://www.facebook.com/GobVallarta/posts/4851182011666501

Today is Mexican Inventor Day in Mexico, commemorating the birth of Guillermo González Camarena, who was the first to successfully create a color tv broadcast system. https://www.facebook.com/SecretariaCulturaMx/posts/4777770568979061

If you think Puerto Vallarta is the end-all-be-all of Jalisco’s tourism industry, think again: last year our city generated only 36% of the total state tourism-generated income. https://contralinea.net/puerto-vallarta-capto-el-36-de-la-derrama-economica-turistica-en-jalisco-en-2021/
