Cinco tendencias subnacionales del desarrollo mediático en México

The objective of this article is to evaluate media development in Mexico using the subnational logic to understand the differences between regions and states. The methodology is based on the analysis of the principal components and clusters to study 23 variables theoretically linked in the 32 states of the country. The results allow identifying five clusters; each group presents internal similarities from their social and media context and notable dissimilarities from the rest of the clusters. The central contribution is to describe the differences in which some indicators of media development are presented in several regional contexts of the country. In conclusion, the progress made formulating an evaluative model for Mexico is highlighted, and the limitations of the metrics used are recognized. The production of specialized statistics in the future is desirable.
