Amandala is a Belizean newspaper; published twice weekly, it is considered the mostly widely circulated newspaper in Belize. ...


Lawrence was involved in the formation of the UDP in 1974 and ran for municipal elections in 1974 and 1977 under its banner. He won, and the Reporter has been identified as a pro-UDP newspaper ever since. 1974 (MCMLXXIV) was a common year starting on Tuesday. ... For the album by Ash, see 1977 (album). ...

The Reporter today is an amalgamation of these cumulative effects. Its reporting has been described as the least partisan and most accurate, and observers of Belize should note that it and the Amandala together offer the best view on Belize.


Publishing of Noticias

Beginning in December of 2006, The Reporter began publishing a Spanish-language newspaper called Noticias (News). According to publisher Harry Lawrence, Noticias is separately managed but publishes at the Reporter Press. For the Manfred Mann album, see 2006 (album). ...
