En defensa del financiamiento de los medios públicos de comunicación

Abstract

Into de historic scenery of pacific transition to democracy, rescuing the historic mission of communication collective public mediums recovers a medullar importance in: balancing the structural disproportion in the communication, cultural, and spiritual fields experienced by Mexican society during the last decades, with an unequal performance of the communication-market model; and transforming the new public media space in a modern zone of collective conscience reconstruction to elaborate a new mentality that enables a civilized existence as a complex, plural and differentiated society

That’s why, at the beginning of the new millennium, through a new constitutional legislation in the subject, information mediums of government must become State mediums of public service to constitute, in Mexico, a new order of communication that creates a new National Public Space that allows the expression of national majorities. A new legal form of financing them must be approved for this to be possible; if not, these mediums would continue so limited that they wouldn’t be able to carry out these essential social functions.
