About 24EcoNews
24EcoNews is an independent economic news platform covering the Mercosur region — Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia.
The site is run by a small editorial team of working journalists whose careers have taken them through Afghanistan, France, Italy, Brazil, Japan, and the United States — experience that shapes how we think about covering economies shaped by political risk, currency volatility, and institutional change. We built 24EcoNews to fill a gap: there was no single place to get a daily, coherent picture of what's actually happening across these economies, drawn directly from the region's own financial and business press.
How it works
Every day, our system gathers reporting from leading financial and business outlets in each country — outlets like Infobae, La Nación, Valor Econômico, Diario Financiero, and others. AI is used to identify the most economically significant stories of the day and synthesize them into a single, readable narrative per country, in the style of a wire-service briefing. Stories that connect across borders — a trade dispute, a shared market reaction, a regional ripple effect — are automatically cross-linked between countries.
This is, by design, a mix of AI and editorial judgment: AI handles the heavy lifting of monitoring dozens of sources and drafting each day's narrative, while our editorial team sets the sourcing, reviews the output, and steers the coverage.
Our weekly Mercosur Briefing is signed "John Dominguez, Editor" — a recurring editorial byline representing our team's synthesis and judgment each week, not an individual staff member.
Opinion
Alongside our daily reporting, 24EcoNews Opinion features eight recurring columnists, each bringing a distinct editorial perspective to Mercosur affairs — from market-liberal and social-democratic viewpoints to regional sovereigntist and geopolitical-realist analysis, plus dedicated columnists covering agriculture, technology, and commodities. These pieces represent the views of their authors, clearly distinguished from our neutral news reporting, and are grounded in the same real-world reporting that powers our daily digests.
