| Summary: | From 2003 to 2005 the World Summit for the Information Society has taken place under the auspices of the UN. Since the MacBride Report was submitted in 1980, this has been the most significant initiative undertaken at international level to confront the challenge of inequalities in the global communication system. So much in an occasion as in another, sectors requiring transformations have obtained a main victory in the area of diagnosis and definition of new paradigms, but their major failure in the refusal of the industrialized countries governments and the media private sector to assume any commitment. This rejection of the concept of Shared Responsibility has for the first time been counteracted by the international actor that supposes the organized civil society.
