On this episode, the LMC spends the hour with Venezuelan sociologist Maria Paez Victor and freelance writer Joe Emersberger to discuss the role of right-wing Venezuelan corporate media in the 2002 coup against Hugo Chavez and what lessons can be learned as US corporate consolidation of media continues to grow.
Following a racist, xenophobic ad by the US Department of Homeland Security that ran on Mexico’s airwaves last April, freelance writer Kurt Hackbarth breaks down Mexico’s corporate media structure and how this controversy may lead to reforms in the country’s telecommunications laws.
