MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN ECUADOR
Print journalism in this South American nation dates back to the late eighteenth century, establishing a long tradition of regionally anchored publishing. Guayaquil serves as the home base for El Universo, founded in 1921 and historically one of the highest-circulation dailies, as well as the centrist broadsheet Expreso. In the capital of Quito, El Comercio has operated since 1906 as a traditional paper of record. Another prominent publication is La Hora, which maintains a distinct model by printing localized editions across various provinces. While Spanish dominates, circulation heavily reflects the geographic divide between coastal and highland populations. Paperboy indexes 29 Ecuadorian newspapers — browse the full directory below.
