Peruvian Media Systems




Although Peru has a relatively advanced media system that can be compared to that of the United States--monopolies included--it still manages to keep certain traditions alive that are unique to media of Latin America.


These traditions include political undertones in almost every newspaper printed. These provide multiple angles to the government and issues in the country depending on a specific political party.


Most publications of print media originate in the capital, Lima (see right). Among them is the official daily newspaper, el Diario Oficial Peruano, which is required to publish any laws recently passed.



Diario El Comercio, also published in Lima, has the largest circulation of any paper and is the oldest privately owned paper.



SOLAR (Sociedad Latioamerica de Rediodifusion) and SUR (Sistema Unido de Retransmision), both privately owned, are the main regional television and radio networks.

Also, the country has a large news agency, Andina, Agencia Peruana de Noticias, which is also based in Lima.
