Falkland Islands Newspapers Online

The Falkland Islands has one of the world's most remarkable newspaper landscapes, serving just 3,800 people on two main islands in the South Atlantic — a British Overseas Territory whose sovereignty has been disputed by Argentina since 1833 and which was the site of the famous 1982 Falklands War between Britain and Argentina. Despite its tiny population, the Falklands punches well above its weight in international media coverage due to its geopolitical significance, its extraordinary wildlife (including over a million penguins), and its strategic position near Antarctica.

Penguin News, founded in 1979, is the Falkland Islands' only newspaper — one of the world's smallest national newspapers by circulation, yet one of the most famous. Falklands Radio and FITV are the island's local broadcasters. MercoPress, based in Montevideo, provides the most comprehensive English-language digital coverage of Falklands affairs. The Falkland Islands FA competes through CONIFA — the federation for non-FIFA recognised teams.
