The Honduras media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Honduras' 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 Honduras, 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 3 daily newspapers (La Prensa, El Heraldo and La Tribuna) and 2 digital-native outlets (Criterio.hn and Proceso Digital). Crosswire lists no public-service broadcaster for Honduras, so the fixed point in a comparison has to be a wire service or the most widely read daily instead.
Honduras sits in Mexico and Central America, on Crosswire's Americas hub. By outlets tracked it is 4th of the 8 countries in Mexico and Central America and 13th of the 35 across the Americas, where the average is 4.7 outlets per country. Its neighbours in Mexico and Central America with hubs of their own are El Salvador (6), Mexico (5), Guatemala (5), Nicaragua (5), Costa Rica (5), Panama (5) and Belize (3).
