Abstract

In the Brazil the military dictatorship promoted the creation of an oligopolistic media system, which consolidated itself and today presents an important obstacle to the realization of democratic reforms in the country. The PT and CUT, the largest leftist organizations, stopped building mass communications media that could oppose the oligopology. Looking at the experience of the daily newspapers of the PCB in the 1940s and 1950s, which was in some sense victorious, suggests that the lack of potent counterhegemonic media outlets in the hands of the PT and CUT is more closely related to the conciliatory, “center-left” strategic concepts of the majority wings of these organizations than to material or legal difficulties
