Media observatories, or media-watch, are think tanks where professors, scholars, journalists, and citizens observe the performance of the press as a democratic institution. Media observatories are exciting initiatives to study contemporary communication processes. From 2007 to 2013, I was the coordinator of Quid ITESO: Critical Analysis of Media, a media observatory of the ITESO’s Department of Sociocultural Studies. This page contains the articles that I have written about this topic.
