Open Files - The Televisa File

Open Files An exhaustive investigative report on the lives and work of Latin America’s and the world’s most controversial personalities and institutions. “The Televisa File”, takes a hard, critical look at the largest television monopoly in Latin America, the Mexico-based conglomerate headed by Emilio Azcárraga Jean. The documentary delves into the tremendous media concentration in the hands of Televisa; the perverse relationship between media power and political power, as seen in the symbiotic ties between the company and the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, as exemplified by Televisa’s role in Mexican presidential election campaigns; Televisa and the entertainment business; and the network’s partial and biased news coverage. The true role of Televisa comes alive through interviews with TV and radio host Carmen Aristegui, journalist Jenaro Villami, Professor in Communication Sciences Jorge Bravo, author Paco Ignacio Taibo II, and media analyst and writer Aleida Calleja. teleSUR
