Many say highly concentrated media ownership in Peru negatively affects democracy in the country. The newspaper “Peru 21,” for example, has been denounced for attempting to manipulate information. It is part of the media comglomerate “El Comercio,” which owns 80% of the national newspaper circulation, three TV channels, dozens of magazines and leading national websites. Many analysts believe that highly concentrated media shut their doors to social movements, leaving few national outlets for them to express their views. Rael Mora, teleSUR, Peru.
