Answer 3

I'm a little late to this thread, but, Cortney, keep in mind that stories in U.S. newspapers may not be always repeated or covered in Mexican or Spanish newspapers. For example, the NCAA basketball championships are very interesting to Americans, but maybe not so much in Madrid. Find some truly international story to compare and contrast.
