Abstract

This article describes and analyzes the institutional advertising policies promoted by the Generalitat of Catalonia between 2007 and 2018. Original data are provided on the impact of the different campaigns on the financial records of the main media (press, radio, television and digital), compared with their audience figures. The aim is to check if public advertising campaigns are planned with objective and efficiency criteria or if they benefit the media with pro-government editorial lines. Proposals for reform are provided in the conclusions.
