Abstract

This article aims at mapping the different mediatic systems present in northern Brazil. It also seeks to comprehend its operational strategies in the social reproduction. We look for a descriptive and comparative approach to these systems, concluding that with a succinct interpretation, based in the political economy of communications. The article draws a map of the various sub-systems in Amazon: the big media groups; the mid sized media groups; religious networks; public networks; government and educational media organizations; popular communication and small companies with local political and economic expression.

Key words: communication, Amazon, system, media.
