POLITICS AND MASS MEDIA IN ARGENTINA. KIRCHNER, CLARIN AND THE LAW FOR
AUDIOVISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVICES
Jerónimo Repoll
This article tries to comprehend the complex relation between politics
and mass media in Argentina using as starting point the recently passed
law on Audiovisual Communication Services (Law No 26522) on Oc-

impact on the democtratic life in Argentina of both, the continuous
federal attempt to impose control over the media and the reciprocal
partial news coverage carried out by media.
