Legitimate limits or State Repression
Analysis of the SUPERCOM resolutions in Ecuador 2015
Abstract
This article focuses on the relationship between public communication policy and state censorship practices, based on the analysis of administrative resolutions issued by the state control entity during 2015 in Ecuador. This was a key moment in the conflict between the Government and the media, which was marked by questions focused on the apparent excessive state intervention, since the implementation of the Organic Law of Communication (2013), which resulted in the creation of a control entity with powers of surveillance and imposition of sanctions on the media that do not comply with the regulations. In this order, based on the conception of state censorship raised by Owen Fiss (2010), a documentary analysis was conducted regarding four resolutions selected from a universe of 92 resolutions issued by this Institution during that period. The results show that there were certain actions and omissions that configure a form of subsequent state censorship and a clear context of confrontation between the media and the governing body.
