The legislative text represents a major update to the framework in place since 2014. The reform addresses the need to integrate changes in information consumption habits and the rise of digital platforms, while aligning with recent national regulations.
A key pillar of the new regulation is the restructuring of governance. A five-year term is established for the Control Board, decoupled from electoral cycles, to ensure management continuity and prevent institutional gridlock.
The law also includes the creation of a Professional Committee to protect the independence and accuracy of news services. Additionally, the Social Participation Advisory Council is strengthened to ensure greater transparency and quality in content production.
