MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN GUATEMALA
Publishing traditions in Central America's most populous country trace back to the nineteenth century, establishing a centralized print market based largely in the capital. Today, the national readership relies heavily on Prensa Libre, a centrist daily founded in 1951 that remains an industry standard. It competes with Nuestro Diario, a widely read popular tabloid known for its heavy focus on sports and crime coverage. Audiences also turn to La Hora, a historic afternoon publication established in 1920. While Spanish dominates the major urban dailies, regional publications like El Quetzalteco serve readers outside the capital.
