Guatemalan history, especially in the past 50 years, accounts for the forms and contents that define the relationship between the media and the political systems. As observed by Guerrero and Luengas (2013), it is the political system that shapes the legal and operational context in which the mass communications industry flows. However, in the case of Guatemala, one must take into account that transition to democracy initiated in the midst of an internal armed conflict that, as noted by Kruijt (1998), marked socially, economically, and politically the whole nation. This conflictive frame in which democracy was born is key to understanding the transition and negotiation of the new rules of the game (Munck, 1994. 2002: Mazzuca, 2002). |
