SMERLING, Tamara. La concentración de la propiedad de los medios en Rosario: 1997 / 2007. Trama comun. [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.2, pp.173-188. ISSN 1668-5628.

This project examines the process of monopolization of mass media in Rosario since 1997 with the arrival of Group One. Since then, the city, inhabited by one and a half million people, has a dozen media companys centralized by the Mendoza media firm. This situation, wich is closely related to political and economic power, it generate a tension with freedom of speech, plurality of voices and the right of learn of an entire population. Althoug the phenomenon of concentration of ownership of media is not new, the process has exacerbated in the last two decades of the twentieth century and early twenty-first century. In that sense, the debate between the centralization of media ownership and how it affects the diversity and plurality of information-and thus to freedom of expression, a fundamental right in all the universal declarations, is a current discussion between those who believe the concentration is critical as those who extol its benefits.
