Government-controlled media are predominant. Angola's only daily newspaper, Jornal de Angola, and the terrestrial TV service, TPA, are state-owned and carry little criticism of the Government.
Private radio stations operate in the main cities but the state maintains a monopoly in radio broadcasting across much of the country. The constitution provides for freedom of expression but the Government does not always respect this and the few private media outlets are liable to harassment. Pay-TV services are operated by Multichoice Angola, and include Brazilian and Portuguese channels.
Press: Newspapers include national daily, Government controlled Jornal de Angola, weekly Angolense, Luanda-based private weekly Folha 8, private weeklies A Capital, Actual and Agora. There are no English-language newspapers.
Television: State-run Televisao Popular de Angola (TPA) operates two channels.
Radio: State-run Radio Nacional de Angola (RNA) operates Canal A, Radio 5, Radio Ngola Yetu, Radio FM Stereo and Radio Luanda; Radio Ecclesia is a Roman Catholic FM station; Luanda-Antena Comercial and Radio Morena (Benguela-based) are private stations.

Airmail between Europe and Angola takes five to 10 days. Surface mail between Europe and Angola takes at least two months. There is a fairly reliable internal service. Most correspondence is by telex.
