Control over such an acute problem as government abuse is an important aspect of work to ensure the activities of officials within the legal framework. Responsible agencies and coordination boards do not always do this effectively. Therefore, one of the tools that may be utilized for such monitoring is the media. In Latin America, creating the conditions for ensuring appropriate control is a relevant objective, and the media can be involved in these activities as a greater watchdog. One of the mechanisms is creating an independent online platform to collect and store essential data related to government issues. If this information is made public, the media act as an intermediary in the transmission of unbiased news to the population. In other words, cases of government abuse are captured and stored in a secure cloud environment with exclusive access to administrators. Such a measure may help reduce the level of abuse due to the threat of publicizing violations.
Another way to maintain control over government abuse through the media in Latin America is establishing partnerships with the official boards that monitor the legitimacy of the authorities’ work. In this case, online news portals can act as auxiliary resources and receive objective data on violations timely. The obstacle that may arise is the reluctance of the responsible agencies to share information on abuse. To address this constraint, the involvement of human rights defenders is a valuable prospect. Making demands to publish the cases of the misuse of power is natural in a society with democratic foundations and constitutional rights. Moreover, the exchange of such data can be reciprocal, and state control boards can also count on receiving relevant information from the media. Thus, creating an independent online platform and forging partnerships with state agencies are potential measures to empower the media as a greater watchdog over government abuse in Latin America.
