What is the Paraguay Post?
The Paraguay Post is an independent and award-winning news source covering all things Paraguay.
Our readers are academics, journalists, researchers and diplomats who want to cut through the noise. Others are expats who want to break out of the bubble. Many are Paraguayans interested in straight-talking analysis.
Whether it’s politics, the economy, business, crime, corruption, climate, culture, travel tips, or just plain weird: we’ve got it covered.
Who’s behind it?
Our founding editor is Laurence Blair, a freelance journalist who lives in Paraguay and has been covering South America for a decade for outlets including the Economist and the New York Times.
Joining him is an all-star team of homegrown journalists and editors, as well as a wide network of freelance writers and reporters. In 2025, we won a National Environmental Journalism Prize for our investigation into drug trafficking in the Mbaracayú reserve.
How much does it cost?
The Paraguay Post is 100% independent because we’re funded by readers like you.
