Cuenta pública y Cadena Nacional: RN envió carta a Anatel

So, I was reading this really interesting article about RN sending a letter to Anatel regarding the “Cuenta pública y Cadena Nacional”. Basically, RN is requesting that Anatel make some changes to how they handle the broadcast of the annual public account report from the president.

What caught my eye is how this report is traditionally broadcasted using “Cadena Nacional”, meaning it takes over all the channels on TV and radio to broadcast every word the president says, regardless of the program being aired. It’s something that has been done for years, and some argue that it’s a way for presidents to monopolize the media and control the narrative.

Now, RN is questioning if the use of Cadena Nacional is appropriate since it can affect the programming schedule of media outlets. The letter sent to Anatel suggests that they consider the use of social media channels instead of the traditional broadcast methods to alleviate the negative effects of Cadena Nacional.

Personally, I think this is a long-overdue change that could open more opportunities for other important topics to be discussed on TV and radio. I mean, it’s 2021, and we can all watch whatever we want with platforms like Netflix and YouTube. I think it’s time the government catches up and uses social media for these types of broadcasts.

In conclusion, RN’s letter to Anatel is a call for modernization and a step forward towards a more democratic media environment. It’s important, not only for media outlets but also for the general public, to have more freedom in choosing what they want to watch and hear. Who knows, maybe in the near future, we’ll be watching the president’s report on TikTok!
