This article examines the extraordinary conflict between government and corporate media in Venezuela over the past twelve years, in the light of on-going, world-wide debate about media power and media reform. It discusses the extreme abuse of corporate media power that has occurred in Venezuela and evaluates the response of the Chávez regime to it. The regime has echoed many of the key points made by radical media theorists and reformers, and has sought to put into practice proposals that they have put forward with very mixed results. The government’s enactment of regulatory legislation and its extensive expansion of state-controlled media are understandable but controversial policies; however, it has also laid the basis for the development of new participatory community media and social media,which this article argues offer real opportunities for a significant democratization of information and communication in Venezuela.

The regime has echoed many of the key points made by radical media theorists and reformers, and has sought to put into practice proposals that they have put forward with very mixed results. The government’s enactment of regulatory legislation and its extensive expansion of state-controlled media are understandable but controversial policies; however, it has also laid the basis for the development of new participatory community media and social media,which this article argues offer real opportunities for a significant democratization of information and communication in Venezuela.
