In the people-centric world of broadcasting,accurate information is one of the pillarsthat the industry is built on.
Information on the information providersthemselves – broadcasters as well as themyriad other delivery platforms – is to acertain extent available in the publicdomain. But it is disparate, not necessarilycorrect or complete, and the context ismissing.

LATIN AMERICA
40 | GLOBAL BROADCASTING SOURCEBOOK 2009
n the last few years, thepolitical landscape of the LatinAmerican region has changed.A new political movement hasemerged and many LatinAmerican countries have beenquick to adopt it. The leader of
this political movement is thepresident of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez,who refers to this tide as “Bolivariansocialism.” Populism and socialismare the pi llars of this new ideology.Many consider Bolivarian socialismthe response to neo-liberalgovernments in the region which havefai led to solve crucial problems, suchas unemployment, poverty andcorruption.
Bolivarian socialism is becomingthe dominant political force in LatinAmerica, although the region remainsdivided. Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentinaand Nicaragua have adopted this newform of government. Brazi l, Paraguay,Guatemala and El Salvador haveexpressed their sympathy to this newideology but do not considerthemselves part of the Bolivarianrevolution. Peru, Colombia, Mexico,Panama and Honduras do not approveof Bolivarian socialism; they supporta neo-liberal type of government.
To understand the mediaenvironment in Latin America, it isimportant to analyze the movement’scharacteristics. Bolivarian socialismassumes an authoritative governmentwhich uses ‘democratic’ methods tomaintain control of the country.Referendums are constantly used tomake changes in the political and
economic system, which thenstrengthen the power of thepresident.
In line with this, Bolivariansocialism promotes the absence of aconstitutional guarantee of freedom ofexpression. Press freedom is limited;journalists and media groups areconstantly threatened by thegovernment and its political allies.Bolivarian socialists perceive themedia as their enemies and attemptto use different mechanisms tocontrol it. For instance, since May2007, the Venezuelan government hasclosed one television channel andabout 40 radio stations. In Ecuador,the president is threatening theopposition TV channel, Teleamazonas,and the newspaper, El Universo, withlegal action. In Argentina, thepresident is trying to influencecongress to approve a controversialbi ll that will give the governmentcontrol of the media.
On the other hand, countries thatdo not follow Bolivarian socialismsupport the media and the pressfreedom. In Peru, Chi le and Colombia,the media play the role ofgovernment watchdogs. They analyzethe president’s every step anddenounce any irregularity related tothe government administration. Forinstance, earlier this year, a PeruvianTV channel broadcast the audiorecordings of Peru Petro. VicePresident Alberto Quimper andRomulo León, a well-known memberof Garcia’s Aprista party, negotiatedunder-the-table payments with
Discover Petroleum regarding oi lexploration concessions. The audiorecordings rocked President AlanGarcia’s administration.
Even though these governmentsapprove the work of the media andsupport the work of journalists,internal conflicts, especially inColombia, Mexico and Peru, have ledto a high degree of self censorshipamong local media. Reporters withoutFrontiers states Colombia and Mexicoare the most dangerous countries forjournalists.
USE OF MEDIA The majority of households in LatinAmerica use traditional media, suchas television and radio. Approximately98 percent of households in urbancities in Latin America own atelevision. Television has become themost important asset in a typical LatinAmerican household. Radioownership is not as high as televisionownership—about 93 percent ofurban Latin American householdsown a radio.
Television is by far considered themost important source of informationand is the most-used medium inLatin America. About nine in 10 urbanLatin Americans watch televisiondaily; close to 97 percent watchtelevision weekly to get news andinformation. In most countries,national private TV channels are themost-watched channels. Internationaltelevision is popular in countrieswhere cable penetration is high.
Even though cable plans are
