Jonathan:

For a start, you could recommend that the newspaper take a look at the
ESOL-oriented newspaper sites Mariann recommended, so they can see how other
newspapers have integrated language and computer instruction with current
events topics. I'd also add a few more links to the list:

Learning English - BBC World Service
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/index.shtml

The Change Agent
http://www.nelrc.org/changeagent/backIssues.htm

CNN Learning Resources (not updated recently, but has many
stories/activities in the archives)
http://www.literacynet.org/cnnsf/

Best,

Let me clarify.  The Spanish language newspaper would like to provide ESL
and Computer instruction directly to its readership.

Hello Jonathan and all,

I'll assume this is a beginning level ESOL classroom since you are looking
toward a Spanish language paper as a springboard. My first thoughts are to
try on-line English language periodicals designed for new readers, and
useful for new language learners:

The Key
http://www.keynews.org/

and Learning Edge
http://thewclc.ca/edge/

Not available as an on-line document is "News for You" another periodical
designed for the new reader that is published by New Readers Press
http://www.news-for-you.com/teachers/index.html
