Panama has one of Central America's most strategically important newspaper industries, serving 4.4 million people in a country whose position at the crossroads of the Americas gives it extraordinary global significance. The Panama Canal — one of the world's most important waterways, carrying about 5% of global trade — makes Panama's business press uniquely internationally relevant, and the official Panama Canal Authority is a globally followed news source for shipping data.

La Prensa Panama is the country's most influential daily, known for strong Canal and political coverage. La Estrella de Panama, founded in 1853, is one of the Americas' oldest newspapers. TVN Noticias leads in TV. The official FEPAFUT covers Los Canaleros — Panama's national football team, which has qualified for the World Cup. The Bolsa de Valores is the official stock exchange, while Panama City is a major Latin American financial hub.
