David: try the following websites: http://www.brujula.cl/medios     or

You'll find good Chilean periodicals, I suggest: El Mercurio and La Epoca
(daily). For magazines, good options are: Hoy and Que Pasa.  I think that
journalism in Chile has a good international view, and it's not excessively
local.

Good luck!
