Communication, Democracy, Freedom, InformationAbstract
This text approaches the obstacles that prevent the general public from differentiating messages and information from the reality. For such purpose, we work with two basic ideas: on the one hand, the advances of democracy in the Western world and, on the other hand, the development of the media and the establishment of media society. We present the conflict between republican political mechanisms and freedom of speech, and between market interests and information. By historically analyzing different stages of these conflicts, this article proposes, in a globalized society connected by network communication, the fight for the democratization of the media as a way to free the public from Plato’s Cave of the contemporary world.
