ABSTRACT
The circulation of cultural and media products and the social conditions that allow or encourage it among countries in the region, is a most relevant topic in current Inter American media scholarship. Due to the significant economic and technological asymmetries between countries in the region, movies, music, news, magazines, and television programs, among other media contents, have been exchanged in dramatically unequal terms, with the most powerful nations (United States at the hemispheric level, but also Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina at the regional level) exporting high volumes of these products to the smaller or less-developed nations.
