Papua New Guinea has one of the Pacific's most extraordinary and linguistically diverse media landscapes, serving 10 million people across over 800 languages — making PNG the most linguistically diverse country on Earth. PNG's press publishes primarily in English and Tok Pisin (PNG Creole), reflecting a remarkable nation of thousands of islands, remote highland villages, and the world's third-largest tropical rainforest.
The National and Post Courier are the two major national dailies. EMTV is the national TV broadcaster. Wantok Niuspepa is the most widely read Tok Pisin weekly.
