Ecuador's Controlled Media.

Since President Correa took power in 2007 he has had problems with the media. He states that "the media is controlled by the opposition," and what the media really doing is providing the public with both sides of the story. The pro-Correa and the anti-Correa, but the President, being supporter of Chavez, making him almost a Dictator, he only want to look good. So he decided to sue various companies from both visual and written media. From written media he went to trial against  El UniversoEl ComercioDiario HoyDiario ExpresoLa Hora, the five most honest, and reliable newspapers in the country. In Visual media he battled against Teleamazonas and Gama TV, bot owned by bankers that had their bankes taken away when Correa became elected. 


This battle between Correa and the Ecuadorian media, shocked every South American country, because he was trying to control the media, and he was doing it so openly  that media from other countries started to make fun of him, and called mi a fool.

  1. Alejandro, you have two interesting articles on here (you should have three). Now you need to use Slide 28 of the Ppt on Moodle: Articles and Opinion Editorials to outline your task, thinking about who you are writing for: audience and the publicatyion title itself. This will directly inform your choices of language, syntax and bias.
