Legal Jeopardy: Clarín Group and the Kirchners
This case is about the relationship between government and media, how media companies should manage that relationship, and the role of media in society. In 2009, the Grupo ClarÃn in Argentina faced a proposed media reform law that would have a meaningful impact on its bottom line. Use this case as the basis for student discussion of the role of the press in a democracy, the ideal legal framework for a press to operate, and the competing priorities of media as a business vs. media as news purveyor.
