although, naturally, the majority are published in Spanish. We take an
opportunity here to describe briefly some of the best known 'papers you will
come across on your visit the Dominican Republic. We also provide some useful
links if you want to see what's in the Dominican Republic news just now!
Best Broadsheet
The longest established, and most highly regarded, Dominican Republic
newspaper, is probably 'Listin Diario'. It has seen many repressive regimes during
its 100 year history (see our
Dominican Republic history
pages). However it is an
excellent journal that maintains high quality reporting standards.
Popular Tabloid
At the other end of the spectrum, the nations best known 'sports and gossip'
tabloid is probably the long established 'Ultima Hora' (rather ominously meaning 'Final Hour'!). If you
want to know what is happening for the Dominican stars of baseball this is a good
choice, but don't expect to find too much real 'news' of consequence in this
publication.
One of the Most Popular
Aimed a slightly more mainstream readership than 'Listin Diario' the Dominican Republic newspaper 'El Nacional' is a popular choice with many Dominicans. With the byline reading 'La Voz de Todos' this publication calls itself 'The Voice of All'.
Light weight daily read
Another popular newspaper in the Dominican Republic is 'Hoy' ('Today') which is a lighter-weight publication. This newspaper is an undemanding read but also
rather less opinionated and informative than those non-tabloid journals previously mentioned.
