The Communication System in the Communication Law of Ecuador: An analysis from the approach of the Theories of Society and Masses of McQuail

This essay analyzes the different theories developed about the relationship between media and society and the diversisty of communication systems. Later analyzes, from a sociopolitical approach, government initiatives for more regulation. This review serves as a backup for the object of study of this proposal: The concept of communication system in the communications act recently passed in Ecuador. We conclude that the lack of theoretical discussion doesn't allow a broaden analysis of a real communication system as a space of deliberation and representation. This should be the pillar on which any regulation effort in communication policy should be based.
