Competencia mediática y digital: Del acceso al empoderamiento
Top Insights

Ignacio Aguaded, Arantxa Vizcaíno Verdú, Yamile Sandoval Romero (eds.)

Huelva: Grupo Comunicar; Alfamed (2019), 321 pp.

"El texto se inicia con un trabajo estelar del maestro Ismar de Oliveira-Soares (Brasil), un referente latinoamericano e internacional sobre la Educomunicación durante más de cuatro décadas. Su trabajo “Educomunicación universal: Derechos y deberes ante las pantallas” hace una profunda refle ... xión basada en su sabiduría sobre la necesidad de fomentar una ciudadanía inteligente ante el macrocosmos de imágenes y pantallas que nos rodean. El bloque central de este trabajo se centra en “Investigaciones” realizadas en Europa y América de investigadores de Alfamed, en el que se analizan múltiples enfoques y ángulos de un tema complejo que requiere infinitas respuestas. Posiblemente no hay una realidad social tan acuciante que requieran tantas y necesarias alternativas desde la investigación y la academia. Este bloque de “Investigaciones” se distribuye en cuatro secciones: la primera sobre “Enseñanza-aprendizaje”, la más numerosa por la trascendencia de la educación formal en el proceso de alfabetización mediática; en segundo lugar, “Comunicación digital: Creación de contenidos”, por la creciente importancia del “prosumidor” (prosumer) en los procesos de educación en medios; en tercer lugar, “Empoderamiento”, en línea con el gran objetivo de reflexión de este texto que, a su vez, supone un reto social e irremplazable; y finalmente “Acceso y uso” con un análisis sobre las interacciones actuales con los medios. La primera sección “Enseñanza-aprendizaje” se compone de 11 interesantes trabajos provenientes de Europa (España, Italia y Portugal) y América (Bolivia, Brasil, Canadá, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador y Venezuela) [...] El segundo bloque dentro de “Investigación”, titulado “Comunicación digital: Creación de contenidos”, se centra en la nueva comunicación interactiva, bidireccional y multidireccional que permite a cualquier consumidor convertirse en un “prosumidor” (prosumer). La sección se compone de cuatro trabajos firmados por investigadores americanos de Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador y México [...] La segunda parte de este amplio y variado bloque se titula “Buenas prácticas” y se ha diseñado como un complemento de la primera, ya que investigación y acción se retroalimentan y no pueden existir una sin la otra, so pena de perder el necesario contexto teórico-práctico que ha de tener la investigación en competencia mediática y digital."

The State of Open Data: Histories and Horizons
Top Insights

Tim Davies, Stephen B. Walker, Mor Rubinstein, Fernando Perini

Capetown; Ottawa: African Minds; International Development Research Centre (IDRC) (2019), xiii, 574 pp.

"A decade ago, open data was more or less just an idea, emerging as a rough point of consensus for action among pro-democracy practitioners, internet entrepreneurs, open source advocates, civic technology developers, and open knowledge campaigners. Calls for “open data now” offered a powerful cr ... itique of the way in which governments and other institutions were hoarding valuable data paid for by taxpayers – data that if made accessible, could be reused in a myriad of different ways to bring social and economic benefits and democratic change. Ten years on, open data is much more than just an idea. First, it was a movement, and then a label applied to vast quantities of data from genomics and geospatial data to land registers, contracting, and parliamentary voting. Today, it’s a term found on government portals, in global policy documents, and in job descriptions. Thousands of businesses around the world owe their existence or their growth to the release of open government data, and hundreds of civil society organisations have embraced open data as a key element of their social change toolkit. For a while, it may have been possible to identify a cohesive open data movement united by shared interests, working simply to gain access to more data and establishing the principle that government data should be open. However, as the movement has evolved, stakeholders have turned their focus to linking data use to specific needs and to questions of how to quantify the return on investment in advancing open data. Within this fast growing and organic open data movement, an ever-increasing number of networks and communities of practice have become more diverse, fluid, and cross-sectoral. So what is the open data movement today? What has it achieved over the last decade? Answering these questions is at the core of this publication. It is a collective effort to explore what we can learn from the past, to identify how to build on the investments made to date, and to look at how open data policy and practice have started to address challenges such as mainstreaming and sectorisation. Exploring these questions is not just important for historical purposes. It can yield important insights on how best to move forward. This publication is also an invitation to identify the issues that may sustain this broad coalition into the future." (Introduction) more
