This is The Mexico Brief.

There’s more to Mexico than cartels, migrant caravans, and tacos. You wouldn’t always know it from skimming English language media. The Mexico Brief (TMB) is a fully independent news service that takes you beyond the headlines to get beneath the surface of Mexico’s politics and culture.

Our mission is simple: to help you better understand a complicated and important country. We loop you into what is happening in Mexico, and explain what current events out of Mexico mean in big picture terms.

Founded by media veteran Andrew Law, Andrew has 15 years of experience as a multi-award-winning executive working across the music, film, and advertising industries. He holds a MSc in International Relations of the Americas from University College London, and has worked extensively throughout Mexico over the last 10 years.

We welcome feedback and encourage you to write to us anytime on editor@themexicobrief.org with tips, questions, or general feedback.
