Evolving media structures in Central America

Advances in social media and Internet penetration mask the long-time collusion between media owners, political elites and other forces running the countries of Central America. This analysis focuses primarily on the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador to examine the media systems that have supported conservative control in this region. Yet media evolution in the region is underway and the structures of the last century could eventually shift. This study earmarks some of those new factors while illuminating the existing structures.
