Abstract

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Media convergence and new technologies have modified the routines of journalists and journalists in content production. The activities related to social communication are under digital scrutiny and require knowledge, proficiencies and practical skills from the professionals. The curriculums for the courses of Social Communication and Journalism in Ecuador do not consider these new technologies as a transversal axis in the training of new professionals. This contribution shows the academic support to the future social communicators that are formed at the Bolivar State University and its relationship with the requirements of digital communication, as well as the daily problems faced by professionals in the field of work, as they deal with new concepts, languages and practices.
