Diario Extra Preferred
Newspaper
According to a poll by
the Estructuras de
Opinión Pública de la
Escuela de Matemática de
la Universidad de Costa
Rica (UCR), the number
one newspaper preferred
by Costa Ricans is the
Diario Extra.
The nationwide poll
revealed that 29.9%
interviewed preferred
the Extra for their
information, with the La
Nación a close second at
29.8%. The Al Día (a
publication by the Grupo
Nacion) was preferred by
12.8%.
19.25% of the
interviewed told the
poll takers that they
did not read newspapers,
according to Jorge
Poltronieri, coordinator
of the UCR poll.
"The Extra has been
creeping up while the
Nación has been sliding
in the last year", said
Poltronieri.
The UCR poll also asked
preference of television
news, placing
Telenoticias (channel 7)
in first place at 28.4%,
followed by Repretel's
channel 6 at 25.5%.
The interviewers did not
ask the reasons for the
Extra's popularity, as
it daily publishes
graphic photos of
traffic accidents and of
scantily clad women.
