Tradition and Change in the Nicaraguan Press presents a fascinating study of how journalists in contentious Nicaragua are overcoming political and economic barriers to better serve their readers in the 21st Century. A desperately poor Central American country, Nicaragua presents special obstacles to journalists, including low salaries, threats against freedom of the press, and a society ravaged by poverty, corruption and natural disasters such as 1998's Hurricane Mitch.
