Liechtenstein: There IS news media there!



Liechtenstein is a small country, but they dob't always have to rely on neighbors Switzerland and Austria as well as Germany. They do have a small amount of news media that is based out of the small country.


They have 4 newspapers: publically-owned Liechtensteiner Vaterland and Liechtensteiner Volksblatt, the sunday newspaper Liewo, and the monthly paper Der Monat. They even have their own TV station, Landeskanal. The people are able to show whatever they want to, as long as the government authorizes it as something that has relevance to the country. And they even have a few radio stations.


Naturally, if they were to lose all the support of their neighbors it would be hard for Liechtenstein, but they would still have something to keep them alive in terms of news media.
