description This article reviews the discussion that initiated in the 70’s about the relationship between communication and information phenomena, and decisions in the economic field. This discussion, according to Miège, has been undertaken from different perspectives that have placed economy and technology at the core of the analysis. The author proposes to study these phenomena through an interdisciplinary methodology, based on the theories of cultural industries and thepolitical economy of communication. Miège argues that with industrialization of media contents, consumer product access is no longer direct and products may be available without any cost to the consumer, since the cost of informational and cultural products is paid through advertising. However, this new environment creates certain problems, such as regulating the sale of these products, turning them and their symbolic content as marketable goods or hiring intellectual and artistic workers under an unregulated framework. He also discusses a double economic operation: the sale of products to publicists, and the sale of the same products by the publicists according to the market demand. The last part of the article is an analysis made by the author on the consequences that economic changes might have on cultural industries, because of their current need to keep cooperation relationships with technological industries, as well as connections with large financial groups.

This article reviews the discussion that initiated in the 70’s about the relationship between communication and information phenomena, and decisions in the economic field. This discussion, according to Miège, has been undertaken from different perspectives that have placed economy and technology at the core of the analysis. The author proposes to study these phenomena through an interdisciplinary methodology, based on the theories of cultural industries and thepolitical economy of communication. Miège argues that with industrialization of media contents, consumer product access is no longer direct and products may be available without any cost to the consumer, since the cost of informational and cultural products is paid through advertising.

The last part of the article is an analysis made by the author on the consequences that economic changes might have on cultural industries, because of their current need to keep cooperation relationships with technological industries, as well as connections with large financial groups. Este artículo revisa la discusión que inició en la década de los setenta sobre las relaciones entre los fenómenos de comunicación e información, y las decisiones del ámbito económico. Esta discusión, como lo afirma Miège, ha sido abordada desde distintos enfoques que han colocado lo económico y lo tecnológico al centro del análisis. Ante ello, este autor propone estudiar los fenómenos de la información y la comunicación con una metodología interdisciplinaria y desde las teorías de las industrias culturales y de la economía política de la comunicación.Miège argumenta que con la industrialización de los contenidos de los medios, el acceso de los consumidores ya no es directo, ni se hace obligatoriamente mediante un pago, ya que el costo de los productos informacionales y culturales se paga con publicidad. Esta situación crea dificultades para regular la venta de este tipo de productos, como el hecho de hacer de ellos, y de su carga simbólica, valores cotizables en el mercado; o bien, la creación de sistemas de empleo de personal artístico e intelectual flexibles y fuera de reglamento. Asimismo, el autor pone en la discusión la doble operación económica que se da en los medios de comunicación: por un lado la venta de los productos a publicistas y, por el otro, la venta que estos hacen según el impacto que los productos tienen en el público. Miège concluye con una reflexión sobre las consecuencias que pueden tener los cambios de tipo económico en las industrias culturales, por su necesidad actual de mantener una relación de cooperación con las industrias de la tecnología, así como de establecer alianzas con grandes grupos financieros.
