18. REGULATION OF FOREIGN OWNERSHIP
OF PUBLICATIONS
Article 69 of the Constitution establishes that the news media
are at the service of the national interests and that the state
shall prevent them from being subjected to foreign interests or
the economic power of monopoly of any one group. This constitutional
precept has not been put into effect by any enabling legislation.
In the constitutional reform in force since July 4, 1995, the
wording ?prevent them from? in this Article has been changed to
?guard against their.?
