17. REGULATION OF OWNERSHIP AND REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF PUBLICATIONS
Art. 2 of Law 3162 of 1962, Expression and Propagation of Ideas,
requires that all published writings, with the exception of small
printing jobs, carry the name and address of the printer. However,
if the printer requires the approval of other printers or technical
firms, the name and address of any one of them suffices.
Art. 3, however, establishes that every newspaper or periodical
may be published without prior approval after a declaration has
been delivered to the Ministry of Interior, per Art. 6.
An editor must be identified and that person has to be Dominican,
per Arts. 5 and 6 of said law. If the daily does not register, Art.
9 establishes that it may not continue to publish.
