Argentine television programming and the absent state: companies vs citizens´rights
María-del-Rosario Luna
In a context where television programs are becoming more and more defined by concepts such as Marketing and Consumption due to the fact that the audiovisual business is in the hands of a few companies, many of which are made up of international capital funds, the need for a state acting as
regulator of activities leading to quality TV programming is evident.
This presentation aims to explain the main characteristics of Argentine TV programming as a consequence of the privatization process which has brought about the appearance of Multimedia to explain the role the State should play in order to protect the citizens.
