The Dominican Republic media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays the Dominican Republic's front pages next to one another so you can see which stories lead where, how headlines are framed, and what one outlet foregrounds that another leaves out. Of the 5 titles tracked here, 1 lean left and 4 sit near the centre; Crosswire currently lists no right-leaning outlet in the Dominican Republic, so for a contrasting perspective it is worth reading one of these beside a title from another country.
By kind of outlet, the 5 titles break down as 4 daily newspapers (see all daily newspapers worldwide) and 1 digital-native outlet (Acento). Crosswire lists no public-service broadcaster for the Dominican Republic, so the fixed point in a comparison has to be a wire service or the most widely read daily instead.
The Dominican Republic sits in The Caribbean, on Crosswire's Americas hub. By outlets tracked it is 1st of the 13 countries in The Caribbean and 10th of the 35 across the Americas, where the average is 4.7 outlets per country. Its neighbours in The Caribbean with hubs of their own are Jamaica (5), Trinidad and Tobago (5), Cuba (4), Haiti (4), Bahamas (4), Grenada (4), St. Kitts & Nevis (4), St. Vincent & the Grenadines (4), Barbados (3), Dominica (3), St. Lucia (3) and Antigua & Barbuda (2).
