the communication
On a yearly basis, the average citizen in Latin America doesn’t
get to buy a whole book, goes to the cinema less than once, buys
less than half a CD in the legal market and only buys 10 newspapers.
Only 10% of the population has access to the Internet. The exception
to is that the average Latin American citizen has daily access to
radio and TV. The low levels of access are complemented by a sector
structure which is highly concentrated, where the first four companies
in each market, on average, dominate more than 60% of revenues and
audience. This is aggravated considerably if one takes into account
that in most countries various economic groups control the most important
companies of each market and generate a concentration pattern of
conglomerates.
These conclusions come out as the first results of a comparative
research of property concentration in 6 different markets of information
and communication in 12 Latin American countries.
During the first
stage which took place between 2002-2004, the information was assembled
with facts from 2000 in the above mentioned countries on media structure,
concentration levels and the presence of the most important media
companies. During that initial stage it was proved that the “info-communication” sector
had a high concentration of property ownership in the continent.
In terms of the diversity of the media it was proved that the countries
with the highest numbers of inhabitants allowed for a greater diversity,
although this was partially counterbalanced by the simultaneous presence
of the biggest media conglomerates at the regional level.
During 2006 we have assembled the facts which correspond to 2004.
The work shows for the first time the prevailing tendencies of property
concentration in the region. Additionally the work presents the legal
devices of each country, followed by an analysis on why these have
not been able to stop the concentration process.
These 6 markets
are: the press, radio, open TV, paid TV, basic telephony and
mobile telephony. The analysed countries are: Argentina, Bolivia,
Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay,
Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.
