Abstract

The review of the trajectory of more than ten years of TV Suesca al lows us to notice, first, the distance between the reality of community television in Colombia and the ideal proposed by national law for this sector; second, the difficulties of sustaining it in the face of global competition; and, for all these reasons, third, the gradual undermining of its founding principles. The notable aspects of this case could be accused more widely among its counterparts.
