Coda Story | In Nicaragua, there are no more newspapers

Journalists are either in jail or in exile, as Daniel Ortega sets about destroying the country’s independent media. And the rest of Central America is following in line.

The facilities of the newspaper La Prensa were raided on August 13, 2021 by order of the Daniel Ortega regime. Juan Lorenzo Holmann, editor-in-chief, was arrested a few hours later. Courtesy of Juan Lorenzo Holmann’s family / La Prensa Archive
