The Solomon Islands has one of the Pacific's most rapidly developing newspaper industries, serving 740,000 people across nearly 1,000 islands in an archipelago of extraordinary natural beauty and biodiversity — a WWII battleground now famous for spectacular diving on sunken warships. The Solomon Islands publishes in English alongside Solomon Islands Pijin — a creole language widely used in daily life — and has seen its geopolitical significance grow sharply following a 2022 security agreement with China.
Solomon Star is the leading national daily. SIBC is the national broadcaster. RNZ Pacific and ABC Pacific provide essential regional coverage. The official SIFF covers the national football team — the Solomons are a rising Pacific football force, having qualified for the OFC Nations Cup. CBSI provides official financial data.
