The elements that should not be missing in the model of The Dreaming Cuban Press necessarily involve a set of premises with an attractive, creative, credible and intentional essence in its content.

D & # 39; anecdote turned into a chronicle, Joel García, a worker reporter, said that the communication policy for many is a "table of savings of our aspirations" after many years, while for others, he is still time to wait for the time needed to express and complicated change of mentality that will imply for public servants.

Today, we dream of a press model for socialism that contains the most authentic values ​​as a nation, the most modern technological innovation and the most creative ability inherited from the best professionals. – that this new model allows the voices (ministers and other sectors or decision-makers) beyond the communication that the president already has with his people ", which has the criticism beside the galloping chronicle at the same rate, that the directors to be the real responsible for the management of the content.

He believes that "Upec's mission is to accompany the socio-economic transformations of the country with a new face: to inform, to explain the measures and to warn and denounce when something is wrong. In essence, show the real Cuba. "

The press looks like society," said Dr. Raúl Garcés Corra, dean of the School of Social Communication at the University of Havana, asking if we are talking about a model of press or communication model

"The press is not a happy island", he said, it is a system that is in other systems, it dialogues with these systems, it reflects them, it conditions these systems and it is conditioned by these other systems. "

The press model that dreams of Cuba must be, but how will we achieve transparency, measure the right of citizens, measuring the public good ?, s? Plenary Inquiry

For Yoslei Carrero, reporter of the Information System of Cuban Television, it is necessary to rethink the relations between the media communication and institutional sources (ministries, enterprises and organizations.) The media, he stressed, are not extension of them.

Enrique Ojito, journalist of the newspaper Escambray, believes that we can theoretically have our best press model, but it is not incorporated in substantive, attractive, in us will have spent a lot of time building agendas related to our audiences


Communicating, Dialogue and Participating: A Vital Trilogy

Social Communication will encourage citizens to dialogue and participate in social and political collective life, as a premise of the conscious transformation of reality. Without communication – which is not just information – there is no participation.

Here is what the document The model of press dream of Cuba, presented by Ariel Terrero, member of the National Committee of the Union of Cuban Journalists (Upec) at the opening of the last session of the Congress.

Ninth Upec Congress Cuban journalists discussed, badyzed and worked to renew Cuba's press model, animated by a series of concepts that have gained consensus within and outside of Cuba. the guild and for historical and political reasons, will not come out in the image and likeness of other, but of our own conceptions and needs, and in accordance with the dynamics of 39, a socialism also in renewal that has never turned a blind eye to the international experience

Terrero said that the recently approved communication policy offers keys on how to deal with the complex web of changes economic, political and economic, legal and social, which are in full execution in the country

Reviewing some of the impacts of the political and social changes generated by the Party of In our press model, the paper stresses that the design of the economic and social model Cuba has defined the need for "to achieve effective social communication, with emphasis on quality and access timely to public information, "in addition to postulating the strategic value of social communication.

and other statements – adds – have added signs that constitute the evidence and accelerator of political consensus in society in favor of a transformation of the press model of society, of technology, media, academia and the organization of journalists

Among professionals reiterated the need to safeguard the political character and clbad of our press, the purpose The social role in which it is supported and the preponderant role of the Party as the vanguard force of society

The change in the press, as we see, can not be solved in isolation, but rather environment of a global improvement and root endogenous, orderly and intelligent, of our social system and must convert professionals into agents of this transformation, and recognize them as such so that their contributions themselves he was fertile, effective, expressed terrero [19659006] He recalled that from 2013, a committee of journalists developed proposals for the renewal of the Cuban press model and promoted its collective badysis in plenary of the National Committee of Upec and in other areas of debate, to enrich the process of collective reflection, encourage the spirit of innovation and make their own proposals for renewal.

After studying political and legal documents and proposals from various media This Commission has devised a basic project for a strategic management model of social communication, with conceptual definitions on the structure of the media system, the forms property, the communication economy and the methods of financing. 19659006] This Upec effort has largely contributed to the communication policy recently approved by the state and the government, including among its definitions that radio, television, print and other media, as well as the technology platforms used by them belong to the state or society and may in no case be subject to private ownership.

Broadcasting and telecommunication services are public and are supported by the state. citizenship. Likewise, the mbad media, whatever their format or technological support, constitute a good and a public service.

He emphasizes the text that "information, communication and knowledge constitute a public good and a citizen's right". It is necessary – suggests the document – to reinforce the managerial or administrative capacities in the media and in the agencies to which they are subordinate, a problem which persists today. Without adequate attention to the communication economy is not possible strategic management for the change of the communication system

We do not discover anything new if we say that a press release authentically socialist has been developed nowhere in the world. Our press has the imperative to help bridge this gap and discover the potential that the new society offers to the development of journalism, "said Terrero.

The introduction to the debate was in charge of Dr. Raúl Garcés Corra, Dean of the Faculty of Communication of the University of La Havana with the document "We have politics … what now?"

states that "a policy is a spirit, a regulatory umbrella, a tool for looking at the future in an articulated manner, and in the case of Cuba, even amid historical and current is the opportunity to rediscover socialism with a symbolic, modern, participatory, innovative and irrevocably democratic face

By exposing the forces that help journalism in the world.The country cited the awareness of the need to modernize the state and that this goal is to make more effective use of information, communication and technology.

He stated in his speech that "we would launch the worst political signals If, in the eyes of citizens, we present a former public administration, lacking creativity and imagination, unable to meet the requirements of the networked society, slow to generalize its innovative results. "

Garcés thought that precisely, they had to come from more than any other sector of society, the solutions to generate a strong electronic government, simplify the procedures of the people, shortening the distances between citizens and civil servants, without technocratically dehumanizing social relations

"The time when the state exercised its communicative practice without the competence of the other actors was definitely behind schedule," he said, stating that "to achieve certain hierarchies of Communication in public discourse is a much more complex but at the same time more challenging goal. "

The administration said that A recent survey conducted by the School of Communication of the University of Havana showed that the biggest gaps in media settings are specifically in the processes that would most lead to organizational change.

editorial processes, but less about the functioning of integrated newsrooms or about the administration, or the creative management of social networks, "he points out

. Another more recent study yields equally disturbing results: creativity and innovation are not highly valued compared to others that characterize "If we want sustainable Cuban journalism to be considered, we had better build a vision. of the future as soon as possible, to translate it to the specificities of each press organ, to discuss it collectively and to transform it into measurable results. , evaluable and verifiable short, medium and long term "

In another moment of his reflection he said that" we would suffer less secrecy if the communication strategies of some public entities were not dead documents , waiting for revisions "above."

He also felt that "if communication instructions were duly hierarchical in institutional organizational charts, if we understood that communication culture is not just the heritage of communicators and journalists, but also decision makers, civil servants, all of society. "
