Montecara is home to an array of public and private companies producing original content across a variety of media.

Montecara has a very strong tradition of publishing and reading. It was one of the few places in Euclea that did not censor literature following the introduction of the printing press, leading to a thriving and lucrative local publishing industry.

The country has four domestic newspapers: La Cara, the major general-interest newspaper of record; Il Posto, the more conservative daily; Il Finansiér; which provides daily in-depth financial news; and Gazéta Susta, a weekly sport paper. Il Finansiér has by far the largest circulation thanks to its international edition, which enjoys a readership far beyond the borders of Montecara.

One form of periodical unique to Montecara is the gazéta, originally a satirical magazine with scandalous illustrations which was first published in the eighteenth century. Some ran for decades, while others were published a single time, and they ranged in size from a single folded sheet of paper to full-length magazines with dozens of pages. This tradition is still alive in the form of informal self-produced publications.
