Meta-Analysis: Scientific Communication & Scientific Journalism

To mark the Media For Science Forum organised by FECYT in 2010, the director of the Observatory of Scientific Communication (UPF), Vladimir de Semir, prepared a meta-analysis on the situation and evolution of the media in the context of the technological, conceptual and social revolution that the internet is injecting throughout the communicative system, and on its impact in the relationship between scientific communication and society. In the interest of this publication, and with the inclusion of the conclusions and recommendations of the Conference, FECYT considered that its updating and publication in Spanish could be useful, with its target being the scientific community and scientific journalism and communication professionals in Latin America. This publication was likewise adapted with new sources and references and, as such, it is an extended and updated version with respect to the original document.
