La Brújula Sonora: La Radiodifusión Ecuatoriana en el Siglo Xxi

The book coordinated by Hernán Yaguana and Armando Grijalva expresses the search for Ecuador's radio identity. Through the data presented in each of the articles, the authors propose to make a contemporary radio radiography of this country. The text touches on topics such as the so-called bitcaster (or Internet radio), university radio, the Organic Law of Communication, the mutation of the receiving device to the screen, the segmentation of audiences, the migration of young people to new platforms of acoustic diffusion, but above all, it reveals an ancestral reality typical of Latin American countries: the concentration and power of commercial media protected by the State with legislation that privileges them. The presence of hegemonic and subaltern groups is also represented in radio.
