Governance of the Cuban media system. A study of the regulatory framework on communication from 1959 to 2018
Abstract
This research characterizes the Cuban media system, based on the study of the regulatory framework established in the country for nearly 60 years. A mixed methodological design of two stages is used to perform an analysis of the regulations through Atlas.ti qualitative software. The results indicate that the media regulation is mainly developed by the executive and political powers, and that the guarantee of fundamental rights related to the media –freedom of expression, editorial autonomy, the right to information, or the independence of the regulatory system– is subject to the conditions established by the single system of state ownership and to the control over the media exercised by the Communist Party.
