The exercise of freedom of expression has been subject to criticisim during the latest years in latinamerica. These critics have been promoted by the so called 21st century socialist governments of the region and is mainly founded on the predominance of private economic interests inside the legitimate defense of a human right. In this sense, an ambibalence between the importance of freedom of expression and the finnancial interests of large mass media enterprises will be analyzed in the present paper. Moreover, we will adress the new challenges of this human right facing new structures of censorship that, currently, does not necessarily comes from the State.

Keywords:
Freedom of expression, media concentration, human right, prior censorship, structural censorship,
