The way to measure ratings must be defined in 30 days

After the publication in the official registry yesterday by the Executive of the Communications Law, the Regulating Council of Information has exactly 30 days to define the methodology with which the entity will measure the ratings of the media.

Once the  deadline is reached, without extensions, the Superintendency of information will hire a company to manage the measuring on the ratings of the open signal channels. This contract will be done by public competition.

If the tender is declared vacant, a public company will be created to develop the work for the entity. Also, if private companies wish to provide the service, they must meet the work standards established by the Regulatory Council.

Regarding professionalism, cameramen, photographers, sound engineers and other personnel involved in the media, they should have their degree within a period of five years.
