Eswatini (formerly Swaziland, renamed in 2018) has a small but distinctive media landscape serving 1.2 million people in one of the world's last absolute monarchies — ruled by King Mswati III — and Africa's last remaining kingdom of its kind. Sandwiched between South Africa and Mozambique, Eswatini publishes in English and SiSwati, with a press operating under specific legal constraints while independent exile media like Swaziland News provides alternative coverage.
Times of Eswatini is the leading daily newspaper. Swazi TV and SBIS are the state broadcasters. The Swaziland Stock Exchange (SSX) is the official market portal. The official NFAS covers Sihlangu Semnikati — Eswatini's national football team.
