    Freedom of expression in the field of communication is characterized as a fundamental, inalienable and inherent right of all people. In the country, this right has been altered by various laws, regulations and reforms that have questioned the extent to which freedom of expression is considered as such. This is why a work was carried out whose objective was to establish the scope of the legal framework in the field of communication and its impact on freedom of expression, which is characterized by being documentary, descriptive-explanatory, on the other hand also A survey was conducted with 24 students in the seventh semester of the social communication degree to find out their perspective on the topic. The results showed that 8.3% totally agree that currently, the existing legal framework encourages freedom of expression in the country, with respect to the question of whether they consider that communication professionals in Ecuador are supported by the current communication regulations, 25% mention that they agree. Finally, 25% totally agree that to promote freedom of expression, the legal framework regarding it should be increased. With the development of this research work, it was possible to identify the evolution of communication laws in reference to freedom of expression in the country, where it is evident that it has been a complex and contradictory process, since, in its early stages, Ecuadorian laws protected freedom of expression in a limited way, allowing prior censorship and other restrictions. Likewise, it was defined how the prohibition of “Prior Censorship” allows greater freedom of expression in the media; this elimination allows the media to report freely on issues of public interest, without fear of reprisals for part of the government or other entities with power, without retaliation for their opinions or for the information they disseminate
