Palau media guide

The law provides for a free press, and there are no reports of official curbs on internet access. However, news outlets often struggle financially.

Regional and international news services are also available.

Internet access has been hampered by high costs and lack of connectivity outside the main islands. Despite this, there were 18,900 internet users by July 2022, comprising more than 100% of the country's population (Internetworldstats.com).
