Suriname has one of South America's most unique and linguistically fascinating newspaper industries, serving 600,000 people in the continent's smallest nation by population — and the only country in the Americas where Dutch is the official language. Suriname's extraordinary cultural mosaic includes Hindustani, Javanese, Creole, Maroon, Chinese and Indigenous communities, making it one of the world's most ethnically diverse societies packed into a small Amazonian coastal nation.
De Ware Tijd is Suriname's leading Dutch daily. Waterkant is the most widely followed digital portal, popular both in Suriname and in the large Surinamese diaspora in the Netherlands. STVS is the national public TV broadcaster. The official SVB covers Suriname's national football team. The SurSestox is the official securities exchange. Suriname is also an emerging oil producer, with ExxonMobil active offshore.
