Keep Reading for Free — And Help Us Grow!
Introducing a paywall and a range of rewards for our engaged readers
Dear Reader,
First, thank you for being part of the Latin America ¡SinFiltro! community. When I started this Substack nine months ago, I couldn’t have imagined the incredible support and engagement it would receive. Your readership makes this work possible, and I’m deeply grateful.
As this community has grown, so too has the time, effort, and cost required to produce the weekly Cafecito, the in-depth In Focus analyses, and the Deconstructing the Postcard series. High-quality journalism and research demand not only time but also access to a wide range of paid sources, research reports and newspaper subscriptions essential for rigorous research and sharp, independent analysis.
To sustain and improve this work, I’m introducing a paywall for some content starting today. I’ve given this decision a lot of thought and have designed it carefully to minimise the impact on your reading experience—especially for our regular, engaged readers.
🌟 Here’s what’s changing (and what’s staying the same):
The weekly Cafecito will remain free for all subscribers for up to one week after publication. After that, it will move to the archive, which will be accessible to paid subscribers. This move mostly affects readers who use the archive for research purposes.
In-depth series like In Focus and Deconstructing the Postcard will be available exclusively to paid subscribers, but to keep the community open and accessible, I’ll continue to occasionally release free special reports and previews for all readers.
💡 Keep Reading for Free — and Help Grow Our Community
To make this transition as smooth as possible, I’ve set up a referral rewards programme that allows you to earn free months of subscription simply by sharing Latin America ¡SinFiltro! with friends and colleagues. It’s my way of saying thank you —and helping you continue enjoying the content at no cost. When more friends use your referral link to subscribe (free or paid), you’ll receive the following benefits:
Get 1 month free for 2 referrals
Get 3 months free for 5 referrals
Get 12 months free for 12 referrals
Those benefits enable you to keep using the site with no restrictions.
To refer your friends or colleagues, just use the referral link below or the “Share” button that you can find on any post, and you'll get credit for any new subscribers. Once you've reached a referral milestone, you'll receive an email with the reward. Easy.
Corporate Subscriptions Now Available
If you work in policy, academia, consulting, or business—and Latin America plays a part in your work—consider a founding or corporate subscription for your team or institution. This provides multiple colleagues with full access to premium content and archives, perfect for research, policy analysis, business intelligence, risk and market monitoring.
Groups of four readers will automatically benefit from a 25% discount on paid subscriptions. For more tailored packages, please feel free to contact me directly —I’d be happy to discuss how Latin America ¡SinFiltro! can support your organisation’s needs.
Thank you again for being part of this journey. With your support, we can continue exploring Latin America’s most urgent stories—sin filtro, just as they deserve to be told.
Warmly,
Nicolas
