"The freedom of the press in Honduras is somewhat limited — 70 % of the population are illiterate; there is little circulation of newspapers and information given is selected for political reasons — no journalists' organisation — All these factors militate against any real expansion of the press." (Jean-Marie Van Bol, Abdelfattah Fakhfakh: The use of mass media in the developing countries. Brussels: CIDESA, 1971 Nr. 882, topic code 110.5)
