“…4 Media industry owners were also keen to protect their interests from 'extremist' violence and Knudson sets out the range of financial arrangements through which the press was co-opted, from the preservation of revenues from government advertising to bribes paid to individual journalists. 5 According to María Alejandro Vitale, in the aftermath of the coup, newspapers and magazines sought to exonerate the military, presenting the coup as an inevitable consequence of Isabel Perón's government and failing to acknowledge the role played by the armed forces, rendering them invisible. Vitale's analysis also shows the press's general avoidance of the terms 'coup' and 'revolution' in favour of 'replacement' , 'interruption' , 'collapse' , 'change' and 'substitution' , and places Atlántida's Gente magazine at the extreme end of lexical mitigation of the coup.…”

Dictatorship, Censorship and War in Billiken (1976Billiken ( -1983 'You can show children from all over the world the truth about our country. ' Embedded in two otherwise unremarkable issues of Billiken in 1978 is the magazine's most explicit endorsement of the dictatorship that had been installed by military coup in March 1976. Billiken's readers are instructed to help their mothers send out the postcards from Para Ti, 'the magazine your mother reads' . The Para Ti postcards ' Argentina toda la verdad' [Argentina, the whole truth] initiative is one of the most emblematic examples of Editorial Atlántida's promotion of, and attempts to legitimise, the military regime. Atlántida was complicit with the dictatorship, putting its publications, in particular Para Ti, Gente and Somos, and its access to a mass readership, at the service of the regime. 1 Billiken's incorporation of Para Ti reinforces the children's magazine's place as part of the Atlántida 'family' and the imagined link between the readerships of these two magazines. Here, mothers and their children are co-opted into telling the wider world about 'who we are and how we live' to combat an alleged campaign of disinformation: 'You will have heard lately about a campaign that exists in Europe against our country. Huge lies are being told about us. 'This page, published on 29 August 1978 and repeated the following week, is the one instance in which Billiken explicitly calls children to action in support of the 1976-1983 civic-military dictatorship. Billiken was not apolitical and, from the time of the first Peronist government onwards, there was no sense of political content being inappropriate or out of place in this children's magazine. As 'future citizens' , Billiken's readers were viewed as political beings who must play their part in the ongoing nation-building project. For the military regime also, children were the future, envisaged as the leaders of the year 2000. 2 Until the treatment of the Malvinas/Falklands war in 1982, Billiken's political content How to cite this book chapter:

“…En el caso argentino, las limitaciones a la libertad de prensa fueron considerables durante todo el período (Knudson, 1997;Lisinska, 2019). De hecho, un informe publicado en 1983 ubicó a Argentina entre los países latinoamericanos que más limitaban la libertad de prensa: no solo era la censura la norma, sino que el régimen también dirigía acciones represivas contra periodistas y otros actores del sector 18 .…”

Resumen: Las transiciones entre regímenes políticos generan expectativas de cambio en las políticas públicas. Sin embargo, estos cambios no siempre se producen y la evidencia empírica conectando tipos de régimen y políticas públicas es poco concluyente. Para comprender mejor el efecto heterogéneo que las transiciones entre regímenes tienen en las políticas, este trabajo presenta un estudio histórico comparado del rol de las legislaturas en la disputa por las políticas públicas antes y después de los procesos de democratización ocurridos en Argentina y Brasil en la década del ochenta. Se muestra la importancia que las legislaturas tuvieron en distintos regímenes y cómo los cambios producidos en sus roles con la expansión del ámbito de disputa afectaron la probabilidad y el tipo de cambio producido en políticas públicas con distintos niveles de visibilidad. Palabras clave: Poder Legislativo -Regímenes políticos -Elaboración de políticas públicas -Argentina -BrasilAbract: Regime transitions raise expectations of policy change. However, such changes do not always take place and the empirical evidence linking regime type and policy is not conclusive. To better understand the heterogeneous effect that regime transitions have on policy, this work presents a historical comparative analysis of the role played by legislatures in the space for contestation over policy before and after the 1980s democratization processes in Argentina and Brazil. It shows the relevance of such legislatures across regime types and how the changes in their roles with the expansion of the space for contestation affected the likelihood and type of policy change in policies with different levels of visibility.
