PASTI, André. Local voices in the argentine audiovisual: the regionalization of communication in the Technological Audiovisual Poles Program. Estudios Socioterritoriales [online]. 2021, vol.29, pp.73-73. ISSN 1853-4392.  http://dx.doi.org/10.37838/unicen/est.29-204.

Ownership concentration and geographic concentration in communication are common facts to most Latin American countries, including Argentina. The Technological Audiovisual Poles program was a policy created within the framework of the 2009 Audiovisual Communication Services Law to change the uneven regional development of the capacities to produce and circulate information and ideas. This program fostered a federalized production network, based on nine audiovisual regions and 42 nodes. It increases local communities’ conditions for audiovisual communication, through the participatory coordination of various agents from those regions. This paper presents an analysis of the program, approaching both its institutional design and its implementation in the Argentine territory. We intend to discuss the role of communication policies on expanding the communicational density of places.

Keywords : Regionalization; Communication; Territory; Technological Audiovisual Poles Program.
