Honduras newspapers and Honduras newspaper list

Introduction to Honduras News Media

Honduras is located in Central America sharing its borders with Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. Mesoamerican cultures, especially Maya, are found in Honduras. However, the 16th century Spanish Colonization introduced Roman Catholicism, who brought the Spanish language to the country.

Becoming independent in 1821, Honduras has consistently suffered social strife as well as political instability over the years. It is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. The International Court of Justice had transferred the Mosquito Coast from Nicaragua to Honduras in 1960.

Media Freedom

Honduras is considered one of the most dangerous countries for practicing journalists in the Western Hemisphere. The situation got worse after the 2009 coup. According to the Reporters Without Borders, journalists that criticise the ruling government or favour the opposition parties are often threatened, physically attacked or forced to flee Honduras.

The United States-based Freedom House claims that most of the media outlets in Honduras are owned by some powerful business interests. These businesses keep a control over the content that publishes in the national media.

Newspapers

Local newspapers operate in most of the metropolitan areas of the country. Many news magazines publish in Honduras on a monthly basis. Hablemos Claro, Diez, Cromos, Click, Amiga, Estilo and Hablemos Claro Financiera are among the most popular magazines in Honduras.

The country also has specialised magazines to serve the diverse interests of the Honduran readers. Revista Medica Hondureña is one of the magazines that publish on a regular interval for the members of professional organizations.

Internet Media

According to the Internet World Stats, as many as 2.7 million people had access to the internet in 2017. Facebook is the most popular social media network in the country.

Many of the media organizations have a website to deliver news. Some of the national publishers also allow the readers to browse their archives for free.

Conclusion

The media in Honduras is vast and comprises mediums like radio, television, cinema, magazines, newspapers, cinema and internet based websites. The music industry is also growing with the years in Honduras.

FM and AM are the two bands of the Honduran radio broadcasts. Some of the radio channels feature only interviews and discussions, while music of genres like hip-hop, Top 40 and country is being broadcast on music radio stations.

Television is the most followed news medium in Honduras as half of the country’s households have at least one television.

State of Media

Oscar Perez said in a study conducted on censorship and discrimination in Honduras in 2014 that “silence is imposed” on the working journalists. In the same year, around 72 percent journalists had reported of violation or obstruction to their work. They face serious challenges to complete a task effectively and in a safe way.

Who Owns Media?

Former President of Honduras Carlos Flores owns the country’s most influential media house. The most popular radio stations and TV channels of Honduras are owned by either renowned journalists or ministers. These media outlets report in line of their ideological or political patrons. Therefore, most of the media reports are either one-sided or biased and cause strong media polarization at times.

While the propelling industry knows no bounds, we at MediaBuzz are working hard to provide encyclopedic coverage of all the news sources. We are a team of professional writers with a knack for the trends in the world of journalism.

We are always looking for suggestions to produce a more concise list.
