Understanding the Media Landscape in Eritrea

This is your complete guide to all news sources concerning Eritrea. It is essential to understand that Eritrea has no independent media operating within its borders. All domestic press—newspapers, television, and radio—are state-owned and strictly controlled by the government through the Ministry of Information. To provide a full and balanced picture, this directory is divided into two crucial sections: the official state media from within Eritrea, and the vital independent media operated by the Eritrean diaspora abroad, which provide alternative news and critical perspectives. This is the definitive resource for a comprehensive view of "news from Eritrea."
