Dan Newland

Newland met Argentine exchange student Virginia Estela Mel at his high school in Wapakoneta in 1968 and married her in Los Angeles, California in 1971, while he was in the Army stationed at Fort MacArthur.

[1] They moved to Argentina shortly after Newland was honorably discharged from military service following three years as a musician in the US Army Bands in the United States and Europe.

[4] The newspaper was renowned for denouncing atrocities in Argentina's Dirty War (mid to late 1970s) during the period in which Newland formed part of the staff.

[9][10] After the terrorist attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo[11] in 2015, Newland wrote: "From mid-1974 through early 1983, I lived in a climate in which I became accustomed to existing, first, with the threat of death by proxy involved in being part of the support team for courageous editorialists, and, later, with direct threats to my own life and to the newspaper that I worked for, as I devoted my own efforts to expressing the paper’s political and moral line.

"[12] Newland has also worked out of South America as a freelance stringer for a wide range of publications and news organizations in the United States and Britain[4] and as a special projects editor for the Buenos Aires business magazine Apertura.
