Description:This article is a preliminary analysis on the financial situation of Grupo Nación, within the context of crisis of contemporary printed media. This 2005 - 2016 analysis explores income, net profits, assets, liabilities, patrimony among others. It includes horizontal and vertical analysis as well as financial reasons. Literature about media conglomerates is the theoretical starting point of this study. Under this perspective the Grupo Nación is considered as a hegemonic actor within the Costa Rican media industry, which has had both economic and political long term repercutions. As conclusion, the article suggests that the financial performance of Grupo Nación is under red numbers: low income, losses on net utilities, low performance of assets and debt growth.
