In recent years, various Latin American countries have witnessed movements around state-run media. These movements come at a time of significant transformations brought along by the possibilities offered by information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the process of building a public sphere that is not merely analog but also digital, with citizens whose rights, responsibilities and exclusions are under discussion. This text reconstructs the regional landscape focusing on the approach taken by state media to embrace digital transformation, and the capacity, intent or potential to contribute to the configuration of a digital citizenship whose rights are more widely recognized.
