If you search (with google) for Colombian newspapers you can click the translate link, I read el Colombiano each day in english. There is also an el Colombiano English edition you can click on also. I am sure that other Colomibian papers might have same.

Ready, Fire, Aim

MT and Simon. Those are good news aggregator sites. Thanks.

az, Unfortunately, most Colombian papers don't seem to have English versions. It makes sense since the marginal increase in readership couldn't offset the cost of translation and content management.

there is a group in bogota working on an english version. i think it is more of a night guide though.

my glass is getting shorter on whiskey, ice and water...

Azunoman,

You mentionned El Colombiano have an English and translated version. This interests me but as a person with 10 thumbs and poor eyesight I have yet to find them.

Would you have the patience to provide an idiots guide on how to find them?

Many thanks.
