Perez stressed the importance of the Law that is in effect since June 25. He said the quality of journalism in the country will improve and that certain rights of the people will be better protected.

Calderon, the former director of the closed magazine Vanguardia and former editor of Diario Expreso of Guayaquil, explained his views with the media lynching and the two institutions created by those rules, as well as community media and equal participation that will be given to national artists.
