AGMU Presents Important Research in the Field of Communications

Ana G. Méndez University (AGMU) participated in the 9th International Congress on Communication Research, held in Barcelona, Spain, presenting the paper Between immediacy and ethics in environmental citizen journalism: experiences in Puerto Rico, delivered by Dr. Víctor Manuel García-Suárez, professor at our School of Liberal Arts.

During his presentation, the researcher addressed the conceptual and ethical challenges of so-called citizen journalism in the environmental context.

As a result of his study, he proposed replacing the term “citizen journalist,” widely used but considered epistemologically imprecise, with “environmental community informant,” a definition more aligned with non-institutionalized practices and community contexts. His proposal was validated during the congress, and the study’s findings will soon be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Congratulations!
