The media maps are fundamental tools for the study and analysis of communication prosses in a region. In Hispano-American case the available examples are few and incomplete. The objective of this research is the construction of an unpublished current map of the dominance of the Hispano American Press, to this end, we methodologically resort to precise identification of media outlet based on a review of scientific publications in Communication journals indexed on Web of Science y Scopus. The research findings identified 2403 media outlets, from them, almost nine of ten are traditional, which means that the new digital native media still don’t achieve academic visibility. The countries with more media are Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, and Chile. Even if the media map is consider as a partial approximation for the media chosen by the science community, product of its particular interest, it offers a successful approach by having some correlation with the socio-economic indicators.
