Until now, discussions of theories of media and society or media and the state in the North American literature have been limited. The four theories of the press advanced by Fred Siebert, Wilbur Schramm, and Theodore Peterson cover the main approaches of Western liberal society, the libertarian and social responsibility models, and some aspects of the Eastern bloc in the "totalitarian" model. Under the heading of "authoritarian," however, a number of very diverse systems are lumped together. One major variation seen in Brazil is the continued vitality of the corporatist model of state and society, which has distinct implications for the role of mass media. In particular, aspects of corporatism seem to be combining with aspects of democracy and mass mobilization politics in ways that shed light on the role of the media in constructing or undercutting ideological hegemony in the heterogeneous, class-divided societies of Latin America.

The rise of Brazilian television is reviewed here showing how TV Globo came to dominate, and how U.S. influences gradually diminished. This "Brazilianization" of television occurred largely due to commercial reasons, as TV Globo gained a virtual monopoly of national advertising in Brazil. Less important were national and international governmental policies. Telenovelas and other TV genres represent programming ideas that have been Brazilianized almost beyond recognition. In fact the author argues that telenovelas have become the paramount form of popular culture since the 1970s in Brazil.

Within the ongoing theorization of active audiences, this article analyzes the concept of a new Internet-based social audience for TV and online scripted fiction through the social media buzz generated by 72 Spanish scripted fiction programs. The investigation is focused on the comments posted by fans and, partly, community managers after the release of the programs' finales. Because of the wide range of themes present in the sample (8,103 posts), we focus on those messages that reflect Internet users' interpretations of historical and social issues broached by the programs. Results suggest that period programs invite a larger number of comments related to social issues than do programs about the present. Moreover, support for TV fiction's fidelity to historical events is observed to be contingent on the happiness factor of those events; tragedy seems to be unpopular with viewers wanting to disconnect from their concerns. Finally, viewers enjoy programs critical of current social issues (e.g., political corruption).
