The Belize media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Belize's front pages next to one another so you can see which stories lead where, how headlines are framed, and what one outlet foregrounds that another leaves out. All 3 titles tracked in Belize sit near the editorial centre in our classification, which is common where the press is dominated by public broadcasters and agencies, or where no confident left/right rating was available. Comparison here is less about political line than about which stories each newsroom judges worth the top of the page.
By kind of outlet, the 3 titles break down as 2 television news channels (7 News Belize and Love FM) and 1 daily newspaper (Amandala). Crosswire lists no public-service broadcaster for Belize, so the fixed point in a comparison has to be a wire service or the most widely read daily instead.
Belize sits in Mexico and Central America, on Crosswire's Americas hub. By outlets tracked it is 8th of the 8 countries in Mexico and Central America and 31st of the 35 across the Americas, where the average is 4.7 outlets per country. Its neighbours in Mexico and Central America with hubs of their own are El Salvador (6), Mexico (5), Guatemala (5), Honduras (5), Nicaragua (5), Costa Rica (5) and Panama (5).
