I was surprised how accurate they were in describing the high-net-worth families in Central America in a recent article:

https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2021/04/03/the-influe...

Not even local media would have been able to describe it like The Economist did.




I suspect that local media might have enough information, but are uncomfortable to write about certain topics. Being seriously disliked by powerful men is sometimes unaffordable to a media outlet.


From the countries mentioned in the article, Honduras might have the least free media.


Right,and the anonymous articles help.


And anonymizing the source too.
