The Guyana media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Guyana'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 Guyana 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 digital-native outlets (News Room and Demerara Waves) and 2 daily newspapers (Stabroek News and Kaieteur News). Crosswire lists no public-service broadcaster for Guyana, so the fixed point in a comparison has to be a wire service or the most widely read daily instead.
Guyana sits in South America, on Crosswire's Americas hub. By outlets tracked it is 11th of the 12 countries in South America and 26th of the 35 across the Americas, where the average is 4.7 outlets per country. Its neighbours in South America with hubs of their own are Brazil (5), Argentina (5), Chile (5), Colombia (5), Peru (5), Venezuela (5), Ecuador (5), Uruguay (5), Paraguay (5), Bolivia (5) and Suriname (3).
