MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN CHILE

Private ownership heavily shapes this South American print media market, which is largely controlled by two dominant publishing conglomerates facing declining advertising revenues. El Mercurio SAP publishes the conservative flagship El Mercurio, one of the oldest continuing dailies in the Spanish-speaking world, alongside the afternoon paper La Segunda. Their primary rival, Copesa, operates the influential centre-right daily La Tercera and the populist tabloid La Cuarta. Regional journalism maintains a steady presence outside the capital through historic provincial broadsheets like El Sur in Concepcion and El Dia in La Serena.
