The author reported, in a previous publication, that both a numerical unbalance among regions and a bias in terms of type of writing can be observed in the foreign reports of the local newspaper Tokushima Shimbun, which is influential as an information medium for the people of Tokushima Prefecture. In this essay, he analyses topics concerning foreign reports on the Latin America region. The results seem to indicate that typical topics about Latin America tend to be reported by the local newspaper and this has to do, to some extent, with the readers' existing own impression of the Latin America region. Local newspapers do not have enough space to put many and even specific kinds of reports from developing regions, because of their social role of reporting on general topics for the majority of the local people. We, readers of the local newspapers, should, therefore, try to form our own impressions and opinions of developing regions rather than be biased by newspaper reporting and pay attention to try to receive diverse kinds of information from other sources.
