Analysis: Argentina’s “Media Law” and how it will affect Grupo Clarin
Last week, the Argentina Supreme Court ruled in favor of the constitutionality of the Audiovisual Communication Services Law (LSCA) 26522/09, known as the “Media Law”. The new law that regulates the country’s broadcasting services was passed four years ago. Since then, Grupo Clarin has been challenging the law’s constitutionality in the courts, claiming it suppresses freedom of the press and affects the group’s economic sustainability.
