There are two main daily
national newspapers
in El Salvador:
La Prensa GrA?fica
(
www.laprensa.com.sv
) and
El Diario de Hoy
(
www.elsalvador.com/noticias
). Both have full coverage of regional and international affairs - albeit from a very conservative standpoint - and the Friday and Saturday editions are good for arts and cultural events.
El Mundo
and
Diario Latino
are smaller afternoon papers with a moderate stance, while
Marca
is a more sensationalist, tabloid-style affair.
Tendencias
is a liberal monthly magazine with in-depth analysis of political and social affairs. Daily papers are sold everywhere on the streets. The bigger hotels stock US newspapers and magazines, and the embassies have copies of papers from their respective countries.
There are seven national
television stations
and numerous cable channels showing programmes from South America, CNN and CNN en EspaA±ol, and films. Over seventy
radio stations
, including Radio Venceremos (owned by the FMLN), transmit pop, rock, Latin sounds and religious programming. The BBC World Service can be picked up in El Salvador on 15220, 12095 and 9915 kHz (shortwave). Other useful information
