The Cape Verde media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Cape Verde'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 4 titles tracked in Cape Verde 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 4 titles break down as 2 daily newspapers (A Nação and Expresso das Ilhas), 1 news agency (Inforpress) and 1 public broadcaster (RTC). The public-service broadcaster is RTC — the natural fixed point for a comparison, because a public remit is breadth rather than a party line. The wire service tracked here is Inforpress; agency copy is written to be resold across the spectrum, which makes it the plainest baseline for spotting the framing a newsroom adds on top.
Cape Verde sits in West Africa, on Crosswire's Africa hub. By outlets tracked it is 11th of the 15 countries in West Africa and 15th of the 45 across Africa, where the average is 4 outlets per country. Its neighbours in West Africa with hubs of their own are Nigeria (5), Ghana (5), Senegal (4), Côte d'Ivoire (4), Burkina Faso (4), Niger (4), Guinea (4), Gambia (4), Togo (4), Benin (4), Mauritania (4), Mali (3), Sierra Leone (3) and Liberia (3).
