Honduras Weekly Remembered
Honduras Weekly was an online English language newspaper editted by Marco Carceres. Mr. Caceres had previously bee famous for getting people together who wanted to help Honduras, known as Project Honduras.. Mr. Caceres was a Honduran who immigrated to the US while in his teens with his parents. Honduras Weekly was a labor of love as advertising did not bring in much revenue.The journalists worked for free.
The newspaper began around 2012 and ended in 2015. Its archive is no loner online. Me. Caceres said he had to devote more time to paying work as he had a child who was getting ready to go to college.
Besides myself the only other Honduras This Week reporter publishing with Honduras Weekly was W.E. Gutman,a professional journalist. Some new regular reporters were CUSO voluntters based in Copan Ruinas,
The paper published a lot of different types if articles by me. They were as different as inauguration of the Honduran Mormon temple, a book review of David Flores's Historic
Evolution of Honduran Folkdances, a 10 article series related to the movie Garifuna in Peril,a 5 article series related to the Honduran electoral process and explaining the fraud in the 2013 presidential election, and how drug traffickers are worsening Honduran Indian and Garifuna land problems. Some of the articles got over 20,000 hits.
I owe Marco Carceres an apology. A lot of things contributed to me having a bout of paranoia.This affected one of my articles. It also affected a blog article where I did not want to be on the Internet because I thought people on the Internet were using my articles and photos for negative actions. I don't have his email now that he does not have the editor@hondurasweekly.com address and so I am posting this apology on my blog.
