Editing Andalusia (section)

==Media==
Andalusia has international, national, regional, and local media organizations, which are active gathering and disseminating information (as well as creating and disseminating entertainment).

The most notable is the public [[Radio y Televisión de Andalucía]] (RTVA), broadcasting on two regional television channels, [[Canal Sur]] and [[Canal Sur 2]], four regional radio stations, Canal Sur Radio, Canal Fiesta Radio, Radio Andalucía Información and Canal Flamenco Radio, as well as various digital signals, most notably [[Canal Sur Andalucía]] available on [[cable television|cable TV]] throughout Spain.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.andalucia.cc/viva/dimedi.html#Radio |title=Medios de comunicación en Red Andaluza |access-date=8 October 2008 |author=Andalucía Comunidad Cultural |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081015041431/http://www.andalucia.cc/viva/dimedi.html#Radio |archive-date=15 October 2008 |url-status=dead}} That web page gives a rather complete listing of Andalusian media organizations.</ref>

===Newspapers===
Different newspapers are published for each Andalusian provincial capital, [[Comarcas of Andalusia|comarca]], or important city. Often, the same newspaper organization publishes different local editions with much shared content, with different [[Nameplate (publishing)|mastheads]] and different local coverage. There are also popular papers distributed without charge, again typically with local editions that share much of their content.

No single Andalusian newspaper is distributed throughout the region, not even with local editions. In eastern Andalusia the ''{{ill|Diario Ideal|es|Ideal (periódico)}}'' has editions tailored for the provinces of Almería, Granada, and Jaén. [[Grupo Joly]] is based in Andalucia, backed by Andalusian capital, and publishes eight daily newspapers there. Efforts to create a newspaper for the entire autonomous region have not succeeded (the most recent as of 2009 was the ''[[Diario de Andalucía]]''). The national press ({{Lang|es|[[El País]]}}, ''[[El Mundo (Spain)|El Mundo]]'', ''[[ABC (newspaper)|ABC]]'', etc.) include sections or editions specific to Andalusia.

===Public television===
