Abstract
This chapter analyses new scenarios of confrontation between the government and private media, focusing on the case of Ecuador. We argue that such confrontation has served to erect a platform upon which the government and the private media fight for public opinion.1 Our intent here is to examine the political significance of this confrontation, particularly with respect to its consequences for governability, and for shaping public opinion.
