Mexico has a wide range of media outlets. More than 129 million people living in the country get their daily news through these media in various formats. Some prefer traditional sources such as radio, television, and print media, while others opt for more modern, digital options. However, certain media outlets are the most frequently accessed by the population—whether due to their long-standing presence, versatility, or the type of news they publish or broadcast.
In recent years, news consumption has largely shifted to digital platforms, allowing traditional media to adapt to new formats and enabling the rise of native digital outlets with a loyal audience. Factors such as immediacy, credibility, and accessibility have been key in establishing certain media as the most-read in the country, reaching millions of visits per month.
