Great efforts have been made in comparative analysis in the field of political communication. However, according to Pfetsch and Esser (2014), this area of ​​study is still under construction and several questions remain open. At the same time, most research in this area refers to the Western world. The vast region of Latin America, with its more than half a billion inhabitants, represents a challenge that calls for appropriate investigation in order to understand the dynamics of the relationship between politics and communication as well as its effect on governance and the sphere of public opinion. my interest focuses on how media interacts with politics in Latin America and how this relationship interacts with democratic governance. Since the turn of the century, we have witnessed a struggle between politics and the media to construct the public agenda in order to direct public attention to issues that reflect their respective interests. In countries like Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Venezuela, governments have confronted the media, sometimes aggressively. Most governments in the region have reformulated their regulatory frameworks in the area of ​​communications, quite often with the aim of limiting the influence of the media on politics. Widespread disaffection with political parties may have pushed the media to intervene as mediators between citizens. and decision-makers.

Ecuador and Venezuela are typical examples > their governments regularly assign...... middle of document ...... due to the evolving nature of the data analysis process. Projected result I am confident that my research will contribute to the systematic analysis of data. characterization of the dynamics of relations between politics and the media in Latin America. In some countries, governments have almost complete control over the media, while in others the media enjoy varying degrees of freedom. I hope to understand the impact of new information and communication technologies and social media on media systems, how policy responds to these challenges and how they affect governance. Taking into account regional particularities, differences between countries in terms of political culture, differences in political systems and differences in the structure and scope of media, I will strive to open new avenues for the study comparison of politics and communication in Los Angeles..
