Starting with the administrative reform initiated by the government of J. Lopez Portillo (elected for the term 1976-1982) an analysis is presented of the situation of mass information media within the general structure of the new government. When Lopez Portillo took office, supervision of the media was distributed over six governmental departments, with considerable duplication of functions; he concentrated supervision under two offices: the Government Secretariat & the Secretariat of Programing & Planning. The media in Mexico are more a means of political control than of education, a conclusion supported by a historical analysis of the development of the media from their appearance in Mexico after World War II through the government of L. Echeverria (1970-1976). AA Tr & Modified by S. Whittle.
