SOSA HERNANDEZ, Guadalupe Georgina. Media power groups face institutional change: telecommunications reform (2013-2015). Estud. polít. (Méx.) [online]. 2016, n.39, pp.91-119. ISSN 0185-1616.

This article analyzes the position of media entrepreneurs in Mexico and their behavior in relation to constitutional reform in telecommunications (2013). The analysis focuses on explaining the position of these entrepreneurs, the Groups of Media Power, against this reform through its mechanisms of influence. The argument is this: the government's strategy of Enrique Peña Nieto, the alliance with the opposition by the "Pact for Mexico", prevented these groups reject the reform. The lack of allies in the parties and the government is an essential part of this explanation.
