According to a report by the Foundation for Freedom of Expression and Democracy, independent journalism has virtually disappeared in 10 of Nicaragua's 15 regions due to government persecution.
The report highlights a troubling trend in Nicaragua, where not only traditional journalists but also local bloggers face criminalization for reporting on even trivial matters, drawing the ire of the Ortega administration.
FLED's report illustrates the dire state of media freedom in Nicaragua, with state-controlled media dominating 59% of the information landscape and the potential for this share to grow amid ongoing repression.
In regions still witnessing journalistic activities, professionals endure constant harassment, threats, and police intimidation, underscoring the extent of repression against those who dare to report.
