The Newspaper That "Breeds" Readers: Illiteracy is a major obstacle to the countries of Latin America on the path to overall cultural and economic progress and forms a barrier to the development of the newspaper industry. A demand for general education is perceived as an urgent necessity in all countries. Governments are using funds wherever available to fight against illiteracy. Private companies as well as international organizations are also providing aid to the governments and local communities of Latin America. In Colombia, the number of adults who can neither read nor write is estimated at around 40%.
