The mass media in Equatorial Guinea is primarily run by the state. Radio and Television Asonga (see below) are not officially run by the state, but by people close to the administration.

There is no free press in Equatorial Guinea. According to the BBC, "It is impossible for the media to criticise the president and the security forces, says Reporters Without Borders" and "Freedom House says almost all domestic news coverage is orchestrated or tightly controlled by the government."
