Abstract

This work focuses on the study of communication in Guayaquil, in the period 1913-1924, framing the facts in the socio-political situation that lived the city in years when the different factions of the local and national liberalism vied for power. The approach is focused on the role played by the media and its use by political elites seeking power, making it difficult situation for independent information initiatives such as cultural, sports, trade and business. One of the things to note is the lifetime of these media, to realize the objectives for which they were created: short-term political propaganda. In the case of the press not linked to particular political interests, big problems to extend their period of publication were the little host and, therefore, financing. Against this background, the work is a tool that provides the basis for understanding the current state of journalism in the country, I often manipulated by political and economic interests.
