Abstract

This paper approaches the impact of technological transformation and new telematic devices on mass communication media. It particularly focuses on how transnational communication companies have been structured with the support of such resources as Internet, software programs, and podcasting, and on the potential risks that abuses associated with the use of this technology can have for democracy when the transnational corporations’ economic and cultural interests supersede individual interests, public interest, privacy, and the principles of dignity. This scenario identifies new challenges to law and the protection of individual rights.
