Background
MercoPress is an independent English-language news agency founded in Montevideo, Uruguay, specialising in coverage of the Southern Cone and South Atlantic region — principally Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Chile, and the Falkland Islands. It provides wire-style reporting on politics, economics, trade, and regional developments, and is the primary English-language source for Falklands-related news internationally. MercoPress is cited as a source in Lowdown's nomads-and-communities coverage in the context of immigration and Visa policy across the Southern Cone, where it provides factual reporting on regulatory changes affecting long-stay visitors and digital nomads in the region.
