Los medios de comunicación comunitarios, alternativos y populares, y la experiencia de jóvenes de sectores pobres urbanos —Paraná, Argentina—

Abstract

In this paper we reflect on the insertion of poor urban youth from the city of Paraná —Entre Ríos, Argentina— into media practices —radio, graphic and audiovisual— of community, alternative and popular communication. In particular, we explore their different experiences, approaching the meanings of practices produced by this group. This article is part of a doctoral research about the experience of young people from poor urban sectors in organizations and institutions that work for their social inclusion through cultural projects. We present a brief contextualization, a mapping of media in the province and an analysis based on interviews and participant observation, which constitute the interpretive framework that guides our investigation.
