“…In such contexts of confrontation, the leftist populist governments attempted radical media system reforms that included efforts to overhaul the existing legal frameworks to democratise the media . In their fight against the oligarchic media, they sought alliances with media movements and incorporated their agendas and reform proposals (Mauersberger, 2016; Segura and Waisbord, 2016).…”

“…The characterisation of Latin America's media systems as a ‘captured liberal model’ or ‘patrimonialistic’ refers to a long legacy of powerful interests wielding unduly influence in a policy‐making process against public interest considerations (Guerrero, 2014; Segura and Waisbord, 2016). ‘[W]hen reviewing the history of media legislation in the region, one is struck by the continuation of back‐door, sweet deals between officials and private companies, and the notorious absence of wider publics’ (Segura and Waisbord, 2016: 31).…”

“…The RFE‐IACHR and other international organisations issued critical documents demanding the amendment and adjustment of content regulations to international freedom of expression standards. However, Correa publicly disqualified these criticisms (Segura and Waisbord, 2016; Kitzberger, 2017).…”

“…The initial reformist focus on abolishing content control favoured actors mobilising demands to limit discretionary state power (Segura and Waisbord, 2016). Fundamedios, an NGO linked to the traditional press, shaped in the heat of the confrontation with Correa and experienced in resorting to the IAHRS, led the offensive coalition (de la Torre and Ortiz Lemos, 2016).…”

“…These legal reforms, framed by supporters as part of the struggles to democratise the elitist and commercially dominated media realm, were strongly contested by the mainstream media and opposition forces as authoritarian attempts to curtail press freedom and silence critics. Beyond controversies, however, the left turn's legal reforms broke Latin America's historical pattern of elite capture in media policies (Hughes and Prado, 2011; Guerrero, 2014; Segura and Waisbord, 2016). Firstly, they politicised an area that was formerly absent in public debate.…”

Latin America's 'left turn' has been characterised by ambitious reforms to reshuffle power relations in the region's historically elitist and commercially driven media systems. Those radical policies faced course reversals where right-shifting governments followed. This article explores the legacies of left turn media policies by focusing on the counter-reforms to the media regulatory laws in Argentina and Ecuador. The comparative case study both traces differences in outcomes and finds a common incomplete restoration of historical media policy patterns. While de-regulations reinstated privileged state access of established interests, operating policy-feedback mechanisms preserved some regulations conferring rights and resources on incorporated stakeholders.

There has been a recently renewed interest in exploring the relationship between journalists and citizens. However, most studies have only focused on public trust in the media (Kohring and Matthes 2007; Hanitszch et al. 2015), with few analyzing how journalists perceive their audiences and how it affects their performance. Understanding these perceptions is crucial for a virtuous convergence between the media and civil society, particularly in contexts of violence and instability where mutual support cannot be taken for granted. In this study, we present a conceptual-descriptive typology (Collier et al. 2012) that categorizes journalists' perceptions of their audiences into three scenarios: full trust, partial trust, and mistrust. Our goal is to analyze how each scenario is related to journalistic performance. Based on 93 semi-structured interviews with journalists from 23 states in Mexico and an original database of local newspapers' contents, we argue that scenarios where journalists have full or partial trust in their audiences are associated with more assertive journalistic content, while scenarios where journalists lack support from their audiences lead to self-censorship.
