Recent Honduras News
Official Newspaper of Honduras
The Country of Honduras recognizes one newpaper only for official notices. It is the government-run official newspaper of the country, “La Gaceta” (The Gazette). Various Honduran administrations have attempted to publish La Gaceta online, but it has yet to become a permanent reality. [Example: Honduras Governmental Website for La Gaceta]
COHEP (the Honduran National Business Council) has been the most consistent in providing fairly recent editions, as well as digital archives of the official newspaper. These editions are located at the COHEP website. Actual photocopies of several editions of La Gaceta have been archived at IAIP, (the Institute for Access to Public Information). These online copies of the newspaper are located at the IAIP website.
La Gaceta Authorized Publisher
The National Graphic Arts Company (La Empresa Nacional de Artes Gráficas – ENAG) is the only authorized printer of La Gaceta, which publishes well over 2,500 physical copies a day. The Gazette newspaper can be purchased in the capital of Tegucigalpa, as well as in the cities of San Pedro Sula, Choluteca, La Ceiba and Comayagua.
The Honduras newspapers for the general public, La Tribuna and El Heraldo are headquartered in Tegucigalpa. The two other daily papers, El Tiempo and La Prensa, are based in San Pedro Sula. Daily Honduras newspapers reach about 159,000 Hondurans.
Private interests own around 80 percent of Honduras newspapers. Political figures are a prominent part of the Honduran press. Former President Rafael Leonardo Callejas was the principal stockholder in the former publication El Periodico, and El Periodico was known for its conservative views. Another influential political figure, Jaime Rosenthal, owns El Tiempo. Rosenthal, a Liberal Party leader who finished second in the Liberal Party of Honduras primary for the 1993 national election, leads the more liberal paper, which is known to criticize the police and military. As a result, a former editor, Manuel Gamero, has at times been jailed.
La Tribuna and La Prensa are considered by most readers to be more centrist than the other newspapers, although some would say La Prensa is a little more to the right of center. La Tribuna is owned by yet another political figure, Carlos Flores Facusse, who in 1989 made an unsuccessful bid for the presidency before being elected to that post in the November 1997 election. La Tribuna has close ties to the Liberal Party and to Tegucigalpa’s industrial sector, while the newspaper La Prensa has ties to San Pedro Sula businesses. Publisher and editor, Jorge Canahuati Larach, is a member of the family that also publishes El Heraldo, and Diez. That paper is more conservative than La Prensa, and has been more favorable in its coverage of the military than other daily newspapers. El Heraldo often reflects the positions of the National Party.
Newspapers of “the resistance” have sprung up over the past few years. Examples are Vos el Soberano, El Patriota, and El Libertador. Additionally, a few news sources are published online, such as Hondudiario, Proceso Digital, and Honduras News.
