Resumen

This study describes and analyzes Colombia’s contemporary media system. Using a historical overview, it shows that, despite the proliferation of new digital media, the system remains dominated by a handful of monopolistic actors. As such, three historical and structural features continue to define the Colombian media system in the 21st century: the instrumentalization of media and journalism, ownership concentration, and geographic centralization.
