It addresses the main decisions that delineated a policy for its operation. For this, it reviews the normative modifications, the concrete actions and the conceptual definitions of the main institutional managers. The review of the trends and perspectives in this policy is fed by public documents, journalistic and personal interviews with its directors, specific regulations and academic texts related to the issue. The article concludes that after the arrival of the national government in Argentina at the end of 2015 it takes place a change of perspective in the management of national state media. In this tendency, these media move from a complementary and protagonist role to a subsidiary and marginal role within the media system.
