Introducing MND Deep Dive and MND Perspectives – two exciting new AI audio products from our team

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 Trainand 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 youThank you for supporting us and for reading, watching, (and now listening to!) MND. The best is yet to come!

Travis Bembenek is the CEO of Mexico News Daily and has been living, working or playing in Mexico for over 27 years.
