About Lake Chapala Reporter

Lake Chapala Reporter is an English-language online news publication serving existing and prospective expats visiting or living in the Lake Chapala region of Jalisco, Mexico. It was was founded in December of 2012.

Its mission is to provide readers with the news they need to live well-informed lives. Its primary focus is on local news, but it also covers regional, national, and international news if it is relevant to the expat community. It is the only publication of its kind in the Lake Chapala area, since its focus is not on tourism, but on real news.

The Lake Chapala Reporter makes all editorial decisions based on globally-recognized journalistic standards. That is:

  • the only criteria for not reporting news is the safety of our staff (physical and legal),
  • information sources are only revealed with permission,
  • money or in-kind donations are never accepted for information.

We welcome feedback and ideas on how to better serve our readers. Our email address is info@LakeChapalaReporter.com.

Please join our family of loyal readers,
