Ciudades y ciudadanos imaginados por los medios

Abstract

The megaopolis of Mexico City exists as a social and physical space, as a demographic ordering and disorder, but also in the forms imagined every day by the press, radio and the television. These media organize the invisible communities of their public, which are informed through the media about the city, and they sometimes participate with readers’ letters or in phone-in programs. How is the public sphere reconstituted in these communicational circuits? Do the media contribute to the transparency and democratization of the city, or do they simply reproduce urban common sense?
