Mass media in Laos

Mass media in Laos is based on a network of telephone lines, radiotelephone communications, and mobile phone infrastructure.

After the Lao People's Revolutionary Party seized power in 1975, independent newspapers, radio stations, and printing presses were either closed or brought under party control. The 2008 Media Law of Laos affirms the role of the media as the voice of the party. The lead media organization is Khaosan Pathet Lao (Lao News Agency), whose lead all other news sources are expected to follow.
