"Media Systems and Communication Policies in Latin America provides a wealth of information on Latin American media systems and ongoing discussions on media reforms. In addition, this book also connects the discussion of reforms with broader questions about journalistic practice, cultural policy and the relationship between national media policies and the public interest." - Global Media and Communication (2015)
