El financiamiento en los medios estatales de Argentina entre 2003 y 2015. Cambios y continuidades dentro de una tendencia de expansión

Abstract

The paper analyzes and evaluates the budget of Argentine national state media during the period 2003-2015 through a methodological proposal that recovers qualitative and quantitative dimensions. It addresses the cases of Canal 7 and Radio Nacional. These media are managed by the Argentine National State and are included in the regulation established by the sanction of the Audiovisual Communication Services Law in 2009. Inserted in the tradition of critical Latin American studies on communication policies, the work describes the funding mechanisms and presents the detail of budgets in these media. From there, comparisons are made with experiences from other countries and analytical proposals for future approaches are included. The article concludes that during the period there was a constant growth of funding in absoluteterms and in its interannual variations. However, its dimension continued below the figures of European experiences of state media.
