Community radios and pandemic. The role of alternative media in the Covid-19 emergency

The following text is a critical review of the paper "Medios de comunicacion en tiempos de pandemia. Nueva normalidad, otra comunicacion" written by Ernesto Lamas. This report was published in October 2020 in the framework of a global context convulsed by Covid-19 and less than a year after a change of government in Argentina. The author's aim is to focus on the role of alternative media, which reinvented themself during the pandemic to continue to function as spaces for democratic construction and enable the community to exercise the right to communication. The questions that Lamas proposes about the future of the sector, along with the search for solutions to face the current and historical situation of alternative media, represent the double objective of the author that fluctuates between reflection and a call to action.
