To keep up to date on news in Mexico, I rely on several English-language news sources. The first I read is the North American page of the Washington Post, which includes a lot of articles on Mexico. The Miami Herald just (unfortunately) discontinued their English-language newspaper that they jointly published with El Universal. But I recently was alerted to Mexidata, which publishes news and opinions on happenings in Mexico. Mexidata appears to be updated weekly with news articles and opinion pieces (not all of which I agree with). Mexidata also has a user-friendly calendar, which includes holidays and important political days in Mexico. This is useful for those travel to Mexico or doing business in Mexico, as holidays are widely observed and you will often find businesses, banks and government offices closed on days that Americans may be working (and vice versa).
If you are interested in reading more about the activities of President Felipe Calderon, his office maintains a comprehensive English-language website with information about his administration, Mexico, his political agenda, his travels and other information, such as his recent first State of the Union address.
For more general information about Mexico, a lot of good information can be found at both mexonline.com and mexconnect.com. Mexconnect tends to be more regularly updated and has a lot of great information for people traveling to Mexico, planning to do business in Mexico or planning on moving full-time to Mexico. Portions of it are subscription-based.
I will write a separate post with news sources for Puerto Penasco.
