Implementación de un periódico comunitario en la parroquia Cojitambo del cantón Azogues, provincia del Cañar

Abstract

Nowadays, the alternative, participatory and decentralized communication is possible thanks to the development of the web 3.0. This permitted the apparition and possession of the social networks, which let us an opener and more decentralized communication. For this reason, I have decided to elaborate and publish the Digital Community Journal “The Observatory” through the social network Facebook. In order to make it possible, the authorities and the students of the “Dr. Gabriel Sanchez Luna” high school participated and were immersed in this project. The newspaper was structured with the active participation and the unified work of the authorities, students and the whole community, which was of a democratic, participatory and inclusive type. It allowed the construction of an open and alternative communication that emphasizes topics of cultural and tourist type from Cojitambo Parish, from its materiality and intangibility, which has rescued celebrations and ancestral knowing. These things make the parish attractive for many local, national and international tourists. This project of community and participatory type will be supportable through the time, thanks to the collaboration of students and authorities of the high school, who adopted it as their own project.
