Mexico News Daily’s team of over 50 writers and editors is honored to be your front row seat to Mexico, each and every day. Our mission is to educate, inform, and entertain you about the country — while doing so in an apolitical and unbiased way.
As many of you have noticed, we recently covered both the Mexican and U.S. elections in a fact-based manner. We reported day in and day out, providing expert analysis of what top politicians, business leaders and political analysts had to say. We took great care to present voices and perspectives from both sides of the political aisle. We presented you with the facts and information to form your own opinions without telling you how we think you should think. We are proud of being your impartial guide through two very polarizing elections — something not many news outlets can say in 2024.
Our team is constantly thinking about how we can better serve our readers. That is why we have recently launched our MND Local sections with expanded local content and the opportunity to read the stories in your area that matter the most to you. That is also why we recently launched a YouTube channel with digital video shorts of a portion of our content. Have you checked out our YouTube page yet? It’s pretty cool.
It is also why we continue to launch a variety of new content series like: “Water in Mexico,” “My American Dream is in Mexico,” and “Taste of Mexico” — just to name a few.
Leveraging new technologies to improve our offering
I am excited to announce today that we are now going to begin offering our paid subscribers two new cutting-edge products that we are certain will help further deliver on our mission to educate, inform, and entertain you.
The first one will be called MND Deep Dive. Starting today and on a regular basis going forward, our team will be bringing you an audio podcast “Deep Dive” by using AI tools to analyze MND articles and create a podcast discussion on some of the most important topics facing the country.
Our first Deep Dive will focus on the arrival of Chinese car companies, specifically BYD, who are evaluating the possibility of nearshoring in Mexico in order to access the North American market more effectively. In upcoming weeks, expect to hear other trending stories like the movement of the Mexican Peso, the case for the Maya Train, and the potential of Mexico’s railroad alternative to the Panama Canal.
The podcast will arm you with additional information, present different opinions and perspectives, and shed new light on complex topics in an accessible manner. MND will analyze and summarize a number of our articles to bring you an overview podcast that helps make sense of it all.
The second product is called MND Perspectives. Here, we will analyze my CEO perspectives articles and present you with interesting and different ways to think about the topics we cover each week. Today, we will dive into Mexico’s minimum wage and the pros and cons of President Sheinbaum’s plan to increase salaries to US $500 per month by the time she leaves office in 2030.
The MND team has used AI tools to create these discussions and give you new perspectives on important topics in an effort to help you better understand them.
It’s important to note that both of these podcasts, despite being AI voices, had a heavy human touch. The articles were written and edited by humans. The podcast preparation and editing were done by humans. We expect both of these products will improve and evolve quickly over the next weeks and months as the technology and our use of it improves.
The Team at MND is committed to continuing to get better and we are reinvesting every penny of our subscriber revenue to be your best source of news and information on Mexico. We are confident that the Mexico News Daily podcast series will be another platform to further educate, inform, and entertain you
Thank you for supporting us and for reading, watching, (and now listening to!) MND. The best is yet to come!
Loved the podcast!
You keep finding find new ways to make news increasing, accessible, easily digestible and of great interest. Love your new Podcast!
The price to subscribe is nothing compared to the amazing value we’re receiving. This husband and wife owned business deserves our support. We’ve learned so much from your wonderful publication . SO well done, informative, and thought provoking.
The promised minimum wage should be a no brainer. People deserve a fair wage.
I liked your podcasts. I would like to see a disclaimer up front in the podcast stating they were AI generated. Depending on the Prompt that generated the podcast, it could be slanted one way or another. For instance the podcast generated from the prompt “develop a podcast about the minimum wage from the Morena point of view” will generate a different podcast than the prompt “develop a podcast about the minimum wage from the PRI point of view”. AI obviously can be manipulated. Good to know you have your journalists reviewing and editing the podcasts, but, AI is still generating the base information. I am very interested in hearing both sides of the story and your continued neutral reporting. This is a new area and I congratulate you in trying something new. Also, I feel the podcasts could have been covered in 8 minutes each. They seemed to drag on a bit. Just my opinion. I like MND a lot!
Randy, you nailed it!!!! And to Travis and the MND staff….what a great pleasure to enjoy so many new choices and perspectives. Having been a subscriber since the paywall started I am amazed at what MND has become and the best value on the Internet!!! Thank you to everyone!!!!

Thank you for your kind feedback David! 🙂
Thank you for your feedback Charles. We are just getting started and still learning but we will get better as will the technology. We will also be able to better edit and shorten them…..stay tuned for rapid improvements coming soon!
Actually, the way the AI bot can mimic professional radio/podcast talkers is scary. It makes the genuine people that it imitates seem less, somehow. I expect a news broadcast to be scripted, but not a ‘discussion’.
I do appreciate MND and the positive changes you are making. I find AI to be an exciting new tool that offers numerous opportunities to improve creativity and productivity. I will check out the podcast.
Thank you Paul. We think it will be a cool new way to present news and information and perspectives as well….
Travis, you’re doing an outstanding job with MND. My subscription is well worth the cost. Thank you. Edward Xalapa.
Really appreciate that feedback Edward. Thank you.
I am skeptical of AI but trust you to use it appropriately and digging through extensive text may be one of its best uses. Anyway, I greatly appreciate the many topics and perspectives and the interaction of readers all of which seem greatly superior to the past.
Thank you Robert. Agree that the interaction and quality of discussion from readers is awesome to see!
