Implementation of the communication policy for community media in Ecuador (2013-2019)
Abstract
This research analyzes the process of implementation of the communication policy for community media in Ecuador, during the period 2013-1029, and identifies the results obtained and the possible factors that explain these results. To do this, the study is based on an analysis model based on the proposals of Winter (2014) and Sabatier and Mazmanian (1981) and uses documentary review and interviews to collect data. The research concludes that the results of the implementation of the communication policy for community media were scarce, mainly due to political and technical factors inherent to the implementation phase but also to the formulation and design phases and the context of the politics.
