Resumen
Los vínculos entre los gobiernos de Evo Morales y los medios en Bolivia, pasaron de una confrontación pública (2006-2009) a una negociación amable (2009-2016). Este artículo historiza esa relación a través de los sistemas mediáticos nacionales, la comunicación política y las políticas de comunicación. Bolivia se distingue de otros casos del “giro a la izquierda” sudamericano porque los medios no fueron protagonistas de la polarización política, sino uno de sus escenarios. Para eso jugaron tres cuestiones. Una, el peso relativo fuerte del Estado y la centralidad del gobierno. Dos, la estrategia de los empresarios mediáticos que, ante un gobierno de signo político contrario al de su línea editorial, aceptaron reglas de juego que les resultaban convenientes. Tres, la autorregulación del trabajo periodístico que limita la intervención sobre los contenidos de otros actores. El artículo cierra con una coda dedicada a lo que sucedió cuando Evo Morales fue derrocado.
The relationship between the governments of Evo Morales and the media in Bolivia went from a public confrontation (2006-2009) to a friendly negotiation (2009-2016). This article historicizes this relationship through national media systems, political communication and communication policies. What happened in Bolivia is distinct from other cases of the South American «left turn» because the media were not the protagonists of political polarization, but one of its scenarios. That can be explained for three main reasons. First, the strong relative weight of the State and the centrality of the government. Second, the strategy of media owners who, given the stability of a government that was in the opposition to their editorial line, accepted game rules that were convenient for them. Third, the self-regulation of the journalists, who limits intervention on the content from other actors. At the end, the article offers a coda dedicated to what happened when Evo Morales was overthrown.
