Abstract
In this article, we study the creation and later deconstruction of Brazil’s public broadcasting project. We analyse the contradictions between Brazil Communication Company’s public communication mandate and its internal organization focused on government control. We show how the social and political context surrounding the 2007–2008 debate influenced both the wording of the Brazil Communication Company law and the way it was effectively applied. We also discuss President Michel Temer’s (from the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party) proposed dismantling of Brazil Communication Company as a public service broadcaster and how the current government now has full editorial and administrative control of the company.
