Prensa, política e “intelectuales mediáticos” / The press, politics and “media intellectuals”

Abstract

They want to be free to express what they think, even though they are not free to think what they say; on the other hand, it is not questioned whether the private media organizations from where they speak and write are free. Currently, it seems that all debates on freedom of speech and press have been reduced to this drama freedom of speech without intellectual freedom and press freedom without free press from private property. This explains why the media and the press need intellectuals, in order to legitimize themselves ideologically and politically, and why intellectuals turn into the media, when their “class position” within current society is modified.
