Hi.
This is a huge compilation.
Here in Chile, the two largest newspapers are El Mercurio (that you have featured here) and La Tercera. This is the printed edition of the latter of Feb., 28th.

Thanks much, Chidalgo. I’m showing my ignorance of your part of the world by confusing Santiago and Concepción. All fixed now, I hope.

And I hope you and all your folks are safe. Best wishes!

some corrections: the broken aparment building is in Concepción, not in Santiago. And the powerful photo of page one of the chilean newspaper “El Mercurio” was taken indeed in the city of Talca, but Talca is SOUTH of Santiago, 257 km from it.

I’m writing this from Santiago BTW,
