| description | Starting from the fact that politics in Ecuador have historically generated the legal and material conditions necessary for an accentuated de-democratization of communications in this country, this article analyzes the “state activism” carried out by Rafael Correa’s administration regarding mass media. Instead of assuming that this activism –which is implemented by a political regime with populist qualities– necessarily leads to democratization of media communications, this article recognizes its accomplishments and takes caution on governmental actions that have resulted in a loss of democratic exercise. |

Starting from the fact that politics in Ecuador have historically generated the legal and material conditions necessary for an accentuated de-democratization of communications in this country, this article analyzes the “state activism” carried out by Rafael Correa’s administration regarding mass media. Instead of assuming that this activism –which is implemented by a political regime with populist qualities– necessarily leads to democratization of media communications, this article recognizes its accomplishments and takes caution on governmental actions that have resulted in a loss of democratic exercise. Partiendo de la constatación de que las políticas desarrolladas históricamente por los gobiernos ecuatorianos han generado las condiciones legales y materiales para una situación de acentuada desdemocratización de la comunicación en el país, este artículo analiza el “activismo estatal” emprendido por el gobierno de Rafael Correa frente a los medios masivos. En lugar de presuponer que este activismo, instrumentado por un régimen político de características populistas, conduce necesariamente a la democratización de la comunicación mediatizada, se da cuenta de los avances realizados y se alerta sobre las acciones gubernamentales que han resultado desdemocratizadoras.
