Sao Tome and Principe has one of Africa's most unique media landscapes, serving just 230,000 people on two volcanic islands in the Gulf of Guinea — the world's second-smallest African country by population, and one of only two countries in the world straddling the Equator and the Prime Meridian simultaneously. Publishing entirely in Portuguese — a legacy of Portuguese colonial rule until 1975 — Sao Tome is part of the Lusophone African community (PALOP) alongside Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique.
Tela Non and Jornal Transparencia are the leading independent outlets. RDSTP is the national broadcaster. RTP Africa and VOA Portuguese provide international Portuguese coverage. The official FFSP covers the Falcoes do Cacau (Cocoa Falcons) national football team.
