Costa Rica Newspapers
Media Guide
..learn how to choose the right one for you
The Costa Rica Newspapers come in a wide variety of presentations, most
of them in Spanish and any cost less than $1.
The newspapers in Costa Rica are majorly sold in the streets and
supermarkets but they are also pretty easy to find in ' Pulperias '
(convenience store) and I think people buy them according to the
following circumstances.
1- Jobs in Costa Rica: buy ‘La Nacion’ on Sundays but preferably
Mondays, there is a big employment section, buy it just during these 2
days because the rest of the week is not that good, this newspaper is
the most respectable in the country; the Sunday edition is bigger and
more expensive.
Google Maps shows Costa Rica's
coordenades as 9.748917,-83.753428
2- Sports fan: without any doubt buy 'periodico Al dia'. This one gives
high importance to the sports in Costa Rica, however keep in main that
since soccer is the #1 sport here most of the information will be about
it.
3- Accidents, Murders and Crime in Costa Rica: easy, buy ' Diario Extra
'. I do not know how, but their journalist are always the first ones on
the ‘scene’, so they get the first shots, usually real but cruel
pictures are shown in their editions; however a lot of Costa Ricans
consider their approach sometimes disrespectful, I agree too !

4- Looking for Costa Rica Business or Costa Rica Real Estate
Investments: here I can recommend you two options: ‘ La Republica ’ and
‘ El Financiero ’; definitely these are not the best sellers but they
have great information about the economy of Costa Rica, specially for
investors.
5- Costa Rican Girls: if you are on a serious relationship, have a
jealous girlfriend or a really violent wife never buy ' La Teja ', here
is why..
'La Teja' is the cheapest newspaper, it has daily pictures of hot girls
from Costa Rica in the back side plus a couple of questions for
the model. Note: Costa Rican ladies do not believe that we we buy it
because of the low price; it’s
just 100 colones = 1 Teja, you see, we protect the economy.

A couple of Costa Rica Newspapers in English..
Before jumping into the English Newspapers let me tell you that there
is another really important in spanish; it’s called ‘La Gaceta’ and
it’s highly use by The Costa Rica Government. The main purpose is to
release important country announcements like laws, international trades
or agreements; the most common usage is to announce gasoline prices
raises.
In Costa Rica the first language is the Spanish and for that reason the
English newspapers are not common here, however there are a couple of
good options, number one is ‘The Tico Times’ and number two ‘The
Journal’. I was forced (when studying English) to read the Tico Times
and really like it, it has a format similar to ‘La Nacion’ and really
it is well respected too, The Tico Times is mostly sold in the
supermarket chains.
