Central America

This website is a public knowledge resource on media accountability issues and provides an overview of existing media accountability mechanisms in Central America.

Central America has a good Media Accountability System (MAS), equipped with various independent regulatory bodies, such as Media Ombudmen and Press Councils.

Ethical guidelines are set up by press councils, but also by jourtnalists, press associations, and sometimes by the media itself.

The website also lists partners and professional networks working in the field of media accountability and self-regulation on regional, national and international levels.
