La Televisión Universitaria y la Construcción de un Nuevo Modelo de Comunicación Social en América Latina

Abstract

 The transformation of Latin American information structures for the creation of a new global communication model, is a very complex process which requieres the participation not only of the state, but also of many other sectors of society, especially from the universities, in different levels of action. Within this cultural context, the university is a plural, open and interdisciplinary institution which produces sistematically a deep knowledge about the diverse national and world realities. Given the decay of the private-comercial communication model in Latin America, the cultural wealth that the university develops must be used to overcome the old media model of regional communication. Consequently, to go further in the Latin American states reform, in issues such as information and building a New Policy of Regional Communication, it must be built from the universities diverse conceptual and political foundations which contribute to reformulate, from a communicational point of view, the Latin American states.
