MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN PERU

South American newspaper circulation remains highly concentrated and dominated by Grupo El Comercio, which controls a majority of national readership despite industry shifts toward digital advertising. The flagship El Comercio, a conservative broadsheet founded in 1839, anchors the establishment. It is challenged by the centre-left investigative daily La Republica. The popular tabloid Trome commands massive circulation, frequently ranking as the highest selling Spanish language daily globally. Additionally, Correo delivers right-leaning coverage and Gestion focuses exclusively on financial markets. Beyond centralized Lima publishing, provincial dailies like Arequipa's El Pueblo maintain strong local followings. Paperboy indexes 51 Peruvian newspapers — browse the full directory below.
