The situation of journalism today is complicated to explain. The media have many economic interests involved, which makes it impossible to deliver objective information. At the same time there is an editorial line that is too delimited between each medium that, at least in Chile, appears to be plural but actually biases the way of informing.
I like to think that in the future communications will be done in a different way. At least at the national level. There are many new people belonging to the new generations who would like to transform the situation of media concentration. Today the media belong to a few people, which in addition to making it a business, makes it something segregated. Canal 13 was recently purchased in its entirety by Andrónico Luksick, and now he is master of the Canal 13 open television signal as the 13C and REC TV pay channels, the 13.cl web portal, the T13, Play, Sonar radios and Oasis, in addition to cross-platform content and derivative business.
In addition, the contract establishes shareholdings for the UC in the event that, by 2020, TV Medios sells to a third party all or part of the channel, or if the company shows an increase in its equity value during that period.
Within the next steps, TV Medios will specify a capital increase of Canal 13 for close to $ 20,000 million. As explained by the general manager of TV Media, Rodrigo Terré, "these resources will allow the company to face the restructuring plan that is being executed and have the funds it needs to carry out its operation, in addition to reducing short-term debt" .
But in short, you can talk all day of the murky business that there is with the means of communication, but more than that you have to change them because you have to stop with the market.
