The Corriere del San Adriano is the only newspaper - and indeed only media - produced by the tiny Sanadrianese nation.

The Corriere is issued monthly, and on average contains about eighteen pages. It is sold for Ł6 (or WÇ 0.15, G 1.25, i.e. c.€ 0.26). Initially it was printed across the border in Uhuh-Topia, until the nation of Jagada donated a printing press to San Adriano.

The paper's authors have other jobs as their main employment, and write the Corriere in their spare time. It consists in a summary of events divided into four news sections: San Adriano, Uhuh-Topia, Uhuhland, World, with subsections dealing with such topics as culture, politics, entertainment, sport, economy and others whenever relevent. Since the newspaper is mainly a rehash of old news up to a month old, most articles are accompanied by the authors' comments and analyses. There is also an editorial, and letters from readers.

The newspaper reflects San Adriano's predominantly left-wing society in its views.

Linguistically, the newspaper is unusual. Its articles are in Italian, but most are translated (on the side, in smaller print) into Wymgani, and, quite often, into Dutch and/or English.

The Corriere is available in paper form in San Adriano, in border towns in Uhuh-Topia, in a few news stands in Arcadia, in the Sanadrianese embassies in Arcadia, Rêvane and Ropadam, and in one newspaper shop on Avenue Weyle'e, Rêvane.

More recently, the Corriere has sought to expand internationally, and can now be found in Siap (printed and distributed by the Siap Tribune Media Services), Jagada, Altanar (AKUS Media Group), Asgarnieu (Roebuck Media Holdings Company) and Honako (Honakon Free Express).

It is also available online at eshwaulise.cit.sna/corriere_in_linea/en.

The newspaper's motto is a self-mocking reminder of the country's smallness: "Il giornale migliore dal San Adriano!" means "The best newspaper from San Adriano!".
