Broadcasts are in Portuguese with some broadcasts in Forro Creole. There are no broadcasts in Ngola (Angolar Creole) or Lunguyê (Príncipense creole).

There are a few television stations, the oldest being the public channel TVS, which had been the only national station for many years. The nation has recently received TV CPLP and some of its programs are broadcast, the network first aired in 2016.

Nationwide radio stations include RNSTP (Sao Tome and Principe National Radio) and RDP África. Príncipe also has its own radio station.

The most popular paper is Téla Nón which is written in Portuguese with a few articles written in Forro (may be the only paper). In its early years, it has mainly been the nation's only newspaper, there are about 3 newspapers today.
