Abstract

The research analyzed the constitutionality of the granting of an operating system of public broadcasting to an elective office holders, specifically federal parliamentarians. Based on the concept of media or electronic coronelismo, it undertook to the applicant's institutional practice critical analysis in Brazil in carrying out the media service concessions, relating the historic national coronelista practice the current scenario where many radio and television stations are owned by political or controlled by them, directly or indirectly. It stood out as this link between parliamentarians and the media favors the maintenance of these agents in power. It appealed to the characterization of the media coronelismo adopted by researchers Suzy dos Santos and Israel Fernando de Carvalho Bayma, sociology and contemporary political science. Methodologically, the predominantly qualitative research, collected data on federal deputies and senators with elective term of office, highlighting the number of previous mandates, and the number of broadcasters that are partners. After comparing the data collected with the decision of the Supreme Court in the trial of criminal action 530, it was found that the national broadcasting scenario in which, recurrently, this service is controlled by politicians, is marked by unconstitutional for allowing the use personalistic politics and the media to the detriment of democracy itself in a modern form of coronelismo.
