Sumario:Whereas most continents see circulation of newspapers drop, Latin America is one of the few areas in the world with rising newspaper circulation. A substantial part of this rise is caused by the introduction of free newspapers in a dozen countries on the continent.

The growth of this newformat is most probably caused by economic growth while we conclude that substitution is low, meaning that free dailies serve a new reading audience in Latin America.
