La imagen en disputa. Cronistas barriales. Producir desde los barrios

Abstract

Cronistas Barriales is a Project produced by Quilmes National University (UNQUI) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Its main goal is to prepare teenagers, from different neighborhoods in the areas of audiovisual languages, broadcasting and production to be able to develop a news programme based on their socio-economic realities and vulnerabilities. It is necessary to clarify that the project is developed in deprived areas in Buenos Aires. The topics of the news are proposed according to the informational needs of the territorial daily life in which the project is inserted, positioning the young participants in an active and critical role in the face of communicational reality. The objective of this work is to describe the project in its stages and scope, analyzing in turn the experience from the pedagogical, political and communicational dimension.
