sity of media outlets.
Analysis:
On the side of the companies and entrepreneurs that operate in Mozambique there is no advertising culture. When the companies and
managers advertise their products and services in the media they

advertising in the media is increasing but it is not correct to say that
the advertising market is sufficiently large to maintain the diversity
of the media environment. The “Notícias” newspaper continues to
benefit from the largest share of advertising in the market.
