The San Marino media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays San Marino'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. All 2 titles tracked in San Marino sit near the editorial centre in our classification, which is common where the press is dominated by public broadcasters and agencies, or where no confident left/right rating was available. Comparison here is less about political line than about which stories each newsroom judges worth the top of the page.
By kind of outlet, the 2 titles break down as 1 news portal (Libertas) and 1 public broadcaster (San Marino RTV). The public-service broadcaster is San Marino RTV — the natural fixed point for a comparison, because a public remit is breadth rather than a party line.
San Marino sits in Southern Europe, on Crosswire's Europe hub. By outlets tracked it is 16th of the 16 countries in Southern Europe and 45th of the 45 across Europe, where the average is 5.9 outlets per country.
