This study presents an historical account of the expansion of
United States interests in Latin American communications in the
first half of this cntury. Particular emphasis is placed on how
United States shortwave broadcasting was used as a vehicle for the
penetration and dominance of Latin American mass communication
systems. This penetration is analyzed in relation to the overall
context of the goals and activities of the Good Neighbor Policy of
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Conversely, with the development of
shortwave broadcasting as a tool of foreign policy, there arose the
need to restructure the traditional relations between the
broadcasting industry and government. This study describes the
process by which the American broadcasting industry came to accept
government control and dominance in the field of international
broadcasting. Finally, this study attempts to show how such an
historical account as this can be used to eluciate the notion of
media imperialism.
