REYES MONTES, Ma. Cristina. Comunicación política y medios en México: el caso de la reforma a la Ley Federal de Radio y Televisión. Convergencia [online]. 2007, vol.14, n.43, pp.105-136. ISSN 2448-5799.

Taking into account the basic notions of political communication and the way it is being applied in Mexico, the purpose of this article is to analyze the "Ley Federal de Radio y Televisión" which has not been changed since its creation in 1960. Such analysis is organized in four parts. The first part is devoted to the study of modern political communication, arose mainly in the United States after the Second World War. The second part attempts to define political communication as the constant flux of information between governors and people. In order to make operative this definition becomes important to undertake an approach to electronic media; this is done in third part. In the last section are fully analyzed the reforms to the "Ley Federal de Radio y Televisión", as a paradigmatic example of a failed political communication of the last administration.
