Journalism in Mexico. Politics, Money, and Technology

In addition, it addresses the role of digital platforms and the implications of these companies controlling a significant part of the advertising market. These transformations present opportunities and risks, including threats to press freedom and the proliferation of disinformation. Free download here.
