Comunicación alternativa y medios comunitarios (prensa) en la localidad de Kennedy

Abstract

This final report is the product of an investigation about alternative communication and community media (press) of the locality of Kennedy in Bogota. It was based on the study of theories of communication and the media in their social function and its effects. The fieldwork made it possible to consult newspaper managers throughout the locality, where dozens of people edit and publish content in printed products and in which the citizens participate. The researcher attended forums on the subject and there he obtained information on political and social aspects of the journalistic work in popular sectors and communities. The documentation and the bibliography served to deepen the themes that are substantial in the societies of the modern world. Communications are the center of important processes without which today the existence of the man would not be conceived. The community media are a channel to give voice to those who do not have the opportunity in the hegemonic or establishment media.
