Communication and Social Change: A Position Paper and Conference Report This paper argues that communication for social change is a distinct way of doing communication - and one of the few approaches that can be sustained because ownership of both the message and the medium - the content and the process - resides with the individuals or communities affected.

Comunicación para el Cambio Social: Clave del Desarrollo Participativo Dos corrientes principales se distinguen durante las cinco décadas pasadas: por una parte una comunicación inspirada en las teorías de la modernización y en técnicas derivadas de las estrategias de información utilizadas por el gobierno de Estados Unidos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y por la industria norteamericana para publicitar sus productos comerciales; y por otra, una comunicación nacida de las luchas sociales anticoloniales y antidictatoriales del Tercer Mundo, que tienen su referente académico en las teorías de la dependencia.

Tiene muchísima lógica que si entendemos la descentralización y el fortalecimiento del poder local como una manera de estimular la participación ciudadana en los asuntos que tienen que ver con su desarrollo social, cultural y económico, la radio local sea también una responsabilidad asumida por los municipios, como lo son la educación, la salud y la cultura. El derecho a la información puede ser mejor servido desde un concepto de cercanía y participación de la sociedad civil, y para ello, los municipios tienen que invertir y abrir las puertas a la comunidad. En el caso de Bolivia, como en España, esto sería factible a través de las organizaciones territoriales de base (OTB) y los consejos de vigilancia conformados por ciudadanos.

Media, freedom and poverty: A Latin American perspective Media conglomerates grow bigger by the day, while alternative options are crushed with legal arguments drawn by the marry alliance between private media and government servants. It has taken many years for emblematic intellectuals, such as Ignacio Ramonet, to acknowledge that the so-called "˜fourth power' has colluded with economic and political interests, and to suggest that we need to build from scratch a "˜fifth power' that will genuinely represent people. This paper was presented by Alfonso Gumucio-Dagron, Managing Director , at the conference Media, Freedom and Poverty in Developing Countries, hosted by The Rockefeller Foundation, Panos and The Communication for Social Change Consortium, in Bellagio (Italy), October 2-5, 2003.

In May 2004, the Communication for Social Change Consortium (the Consortium) convened a meeting of authors and scholars in communication for development to discuss and select pieces for an anthology with the aim of creating an academic reference resource of communication for social change for scholars and practitioners around the world. Approximately 100 texts on communication for development, participatory communication, citizens' media, and community media were pre-selected. With a focus on theoretical essays as opposed to case studies, the strategy was to trace the concept of communication for social change from its origins, looking back 40 to 50 years if necessary. The end goal was to select 50 essays that are key to the understanding of communication for social change. A panel* of 12 met for 3 days with the editors of the anthology and the Consortium to determine the 50 final texts to be published. Region: Global Language: English Type: Report / Working Paper |

Ondes de Choc - histoires sur la communication participative pour le changement social À travers les cinquante expériences décrites ici, « Ondes de Choc » examine des projets innovateurs de communication pour le changement social en Afrique, Asie et Amérique latine. Ce livre offre une analyse des médias et des méthodes utilisés, ainsi que les obstacles qui vont a l'encontre de l'usage efficace de la communication pour le changement sociale. Certaines ont été directement observées, l'information sur les autres ayant été obtenue par courrier électronique, fax, téléphone et Internet. L'Amérique latine est en tête par la quantité et la qualité des expériences de communication participative, et la radio a été parmi tous les médias, le plus important pour le développement et les changements sociaux. Les critères de sélection ont été conçus pour identifier les expériences ayant une forte composante d'« appropriation » par la communauté. Certaines expériences avaient pour objectif final l'« appropriation » communautaire, mais elles n'avaient pas encore atteint ce niveau de développement au moment de la recherche.
