MENDES, Gláucia da Silva. The (in)visibility of Telesur in Argentina under the communication policies of Nestor Kirchner. Comun. soc [online]. 2014, n.21, pp.269-293. ISSN 0188-252X.

This article investigates why Argentina, the second largest shareholder of the multistate television Telesur, failed to broadcast the signal of the station in its territory. It shows that the limited access is due to the context of the country's adherence to the channel: the communication policy of Nestor Kirchner, that followed the old patterns of clientelist relationship between the state and the major media groups in Argentina.
