There is a major Tenerife English media presence on the island, catering for both holdaymakers and ex-pat residents alike.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE NEWSPAPERS
English language newspapers are usually free and distributed to bars and shops for anyone to pick up.
These days, there are three main ones.

The Paper
Once one of the most popular free newspapers in Tenerife, this periodical ceased production in September, 2010. It was a familiar sight in bars and other establishments for about 12 years and, no doubt, will be missed by many holidaymakers and residents.
