NOTION OF TRUTH IN MEDIA AND DIGITAL SPEECHES TO THE CHALLENGES FOR COMMUNICATION IN DEMOCRACY

With this conference I want to share those knowledge, experiences and desires that, after a long life of Professor of Theory and methodology of Communication research at the Complutense University of Madrid. Knowledge offered by 40 years of teacher and researcher in Communication. Experiences lived thanks to the approach and often the exercise of journalist and editor. Desires, finally, fostered from my status as a committed citizen as a base militant in left-wing parties during a period during which Spain leaves a dictatorship and establishes a solid democracy. And about academic knowledge, (1. The role of the academy against the notions of truth), professional experiences (2. Journalism and post-truth) and citizen desires (3. New Communication systems in the Rule of Law) revolve precisely the thematic axes of this CONGRESS. I assume then the development of these axes to articulate my speech.
