description Public policies in Mexico have privileged the commercial aspect of radios over the social function of non-profit media. Despite the recent constitutional reforms that were announced as the beginning of new policies designed to satisfy the most diverse needs of communication and information, the demands of civil society to consolidate an atmosphere of media plurality have not been attended to.
