Description: "A study of the relationship between television journalism and Mexico's PRI during the Cold War"--
Review Quotes: "For most of its eighty-plus years, the media behemoth known today as Televisa, long the de facto propaganda arm of the Mexican state, has been all but hermetically sealed against inspection by researchers. Few have interviewed its executives, let alone probed its archives. That Celeste González de Bustamante has accessed two decades' worth of broadcast news scripts is a feat of scholarly gumption and tenacity. Her resulting book offers a fascinating and unprecedentedly detailed account of news dissemination between 1950 and 1970 by the most influential television company in the Spanish- speaking world."--Andrew Paxman, Hispanic American Historical Review-- (8/3/2015 12:00:00 AM)
