Consejo de Regulacion y Desarrollo de la Informacion y Comunicacion, a State Owned entity headquartered in Ecuador, reported $6.6M in revenue as of 2024. Founded in 2013 and operating with approximately 60 employees, the autonomous state regulatory body is responsible for developing, promoting, and protecting the rights to freedom of expression, information, and communication in Ecuador. Established under the Organic Law of Communication (LOC), the institution coordinates the national public communication system, focusing on journalist safety, equitable access to media, and multicultural representation. The council functions as a technical administrative authority rather than a political censor, applying international human rights standards to monitor compliance across print, broadcast, and digital media platforms nationwide.
