The Haiti media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Haiti'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 Haiti 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 (Haïti Libre and Juno7) and 2 daily newspapers (Le Nouvelliste and Le National). Crosswire lists no public-service broadcaster for Haiti, so the fixed point in a comparison has to be a wire service or the most widely read daily instead.
Haiti sits in The Caribbean, on Crosswire's Americas hub. By outlets tracked it is 5th of the 13 countries in The Caribbean and 27th of the 35 across the Americas, where the average is 4.7 outlets per country. Its neighbours in The Caribbean with hubs of their own are Dominican Republic (5), Jamaica (5), Trinidad and Tobago (5), Cuba (4), Bahamas (4), Grenada (4), St. Kitts & Nevis (4), St. Vincent & the Grenadines (4), Barbados (3), Dominica (3), St. Lucia (3) and Antigua & Barbuda (2).

One of Haiti's most widely read news websites, publishing continuously updated coverage in French and English from Port-au-Prince. Haïti Libre reports on politics, insecurity, the economy, education and diaspora affairs, and its bilingual format has made it a common reference point for international readers following Haitian current events.
Popular Haitian digital outlet producing round-the-clock news in French from Port-au-Prince, with a large social-media audience at home and in the diaspora. Juno7 covers politics, the security situation, sport and culture, and has grown over the past decade into one of the most-followed online news brands in Haiti.
Port-au-Prince daily launched in 2015, publishing in French with regular cultural and literary pages. Le National provides reported coverage of Haitian politics, the economy, society and the arts alongside opinion columns, and maintains a full digital edition, making it one of the few traditional print dailies still operating in Haiti.
