Argentina as the second largest Latin American country represents an inexhaustible source for scientific research. Throughout history, this country has been marked by a series of changes of regime and form of government. In this context, the period of Kirchnerism that deals with this work, as a period of sort of populist rule undoubtedly marked Argentina at the beginning of the 21st century. For nearly twelve years, spouses Nestor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner ruled the state. Their mandates were characterized by clever maneuvering in foreign policy, using all government resources to provide citizens support and a specific way of managing the state by adopting a series of presidential decrees. In the same way, they also carried out the reforms of the Argentine intelligence system. Given that intelligence services are one of the key components of the national security system, it is essential that reforms in this system are carried out transparently. One of the key actors that should ensure the transparency of this process is certainly the media. Therefore, this paper tries to answer the question of whether the reforms of the intelligence system in the period of Kirchnerism were going in the direction of the democratization or politicization of the system, or whether media reporting on reforms has had an impact on the democratization of the Argentine intelligence system.
