Juan S. Larrosa-Fuentes, J. Gómez, R. Orozco Murillo, and M. S. Paláu Cardona · ITESO
This book examines public and political communication during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico through the study of government press conferences and their circulation within a hybrid media system.

Rodrigo Gómez, Argelia Muñoz, Juan Larrosa Fuentes, and Gabriel Sosa-Plata
Edited by Marius Dragomir · Media and Journalism Research Center (MJRC)
This study analyzes Mexico’s media landscape through the intersections of politics, economics, and technology. It examines the regulatory framework for media and telecommunications, media ownership concentration, journalism financing, and the growing role of digital platforms in the advertising market.

18 Years of PAN Governments in Jalisco: Seven Academic Essays
Juan S. Larrosa-Fuentes and Jorge E. Rocha Quintero (Eds.) · ITESO
After six decades of PRI governments, Jalisco became one of the first Mexican states to experience political alternation. In 1995, the PAN won the governorship and remained in power for three consecutive six-year terms. The book examines this period through seven academic essays addressing the economy, electoral geography, social movements, transparency, government communication, relations between the press and political power, and transformations in the ownership of the communication system.
