***LareDOS*** was an independent monthly newspaper published in [Laredo, Texas](/source/Laredo%2C_Texas), and distributed free of charge. The newspaper was widely praised and also criticized for its controversial stories on local politics.

*LareDOS* was founded by Maria Eugenia "Meg" Guerra and Richard Geissler in December 1994. The newspaper took pride that it was 100 percent owned by a [Latina](/source/Latinas) since Guerra bought out Geissler in 1996.[1] *LareDOS* also used the branding of "A Journal of the borderlands".

In April 2011, *LareDOS* publisher Guerra received the First Amendment Community Watchdog Award from the [Society of Professional Journalists](/source/Society_of_Professional_Journalists), Fort Worth Chapter for two stories concerning the state of living in the [colonias](/source/Colonia_(United_States)) near Laredo, Texas, and damage done to the National Historic Landmark, [Fort Treviño in San Ygnacio, Texas](/source/Trevino-Uribe_Rancho), when city workers accidentally sprayed tar all over the walls of the historic building when they were paving a road.

In September 2014, owner and publisher Guerra discontinued the financially unsuccessful publication.[2]
