Concept, instruments and challenges of media education for social change

Abstract

Despite its long tradition in other geographic contexts, the field of communication for social change is almost unknown in our country; therefore, there is a widespread ignorance of communication basics on the part of organizations and professionals committed to development. The following article offers a brief historical approach to this concept and describes its main methodologies, in order to help consolidate the discipline and to promote strategies for the future. Pese a su extensa tradición en otros contextos geográficos, el campo de la edu-comunicación para el cambio social es prácticamente desconocido en nuestro país, por lo que sigue siendo infrautilizado por parte de organizaciones y profesionales comprometidos con el desarrollo. El artículo ofrece una aproximación histórica al concepto y describe sucintamente algunas de sus principales metodologías, a fin de avanzar en la consolidación de la disciplina y potenciar estrategias para el contexto venidero.
