Your description of La Jornada is overly generous to The Guardian. Reading it was one of the highlights of being in Mexico (and also, paradoxically, a low point, as its articles had a way of making obvious the social disparities from which I, a privileged gabacho tourist, benefited on a daily basis, for an example of which, see this entry--the stat on per capita income in Oaxaca came from La Jornada).
(It's a sign of how much my life has changed in the last 5 years that the riff on the "average child" in that entry now reminds me of the fractional child from The Phantom Tollbooth, or, as [daughter] calls it, "Tock and Milo".)
