Vol. 12 No. 1 (2021): New Forms of Communication

This dossier aims to analyze the communication model in which the interlocutors are not physically present, in the same place and / or time, which makes the communication process change substantially. We cannot ignore the advantages that these new ways of communicating offer us, however we must safeguard humanity from this act. Technological advances in the area of ​​communications have accelerated the development of new media and the migration from traditional ones to the internet. These give rise to cybermedia that constitute a communicative situation different from that of traditional systems by incorporating interactivity. The expansion of social networks and mobile technology in which users reach all the prominence of both producers and consumers, generates dialogues and exchanges within civil society outside of large media companies. These cybermedia generate new professional profiles that have raised the alert in the field of legislation and taxation, but they have also widened social gaps, especially in less developed countries. Finally, it is expected that this academic space can collect, recognize, and disseminate the best investigative, analytical and reflective works of researchers on communication at the local, regional and international levels.
