interests of the publication, which enhances the integration between the

The texts that are presented must be understood as the result of the incessant
search and the intellectual effort to account for the current state of

Information and communication as conceptual axes of the publication are
conceived in their broadest sense as fields of research whose disciplinary
status has been in constant debate; and where they manage to develop,
however, several areas of professional performance (Journalism, Organizational
Communication, Public Relations, Advertising, Information Sciences, Librarianship,
Archivology, Documentation and Museology) that help to delimit the scope
of our approaches to the object of analysis common to both domains of
knowledge.
Communication is understood in this sense as the social process through
which individuals, groups and institutions produce and exchange information,
comprehending in a general way the latter as a mediating process / product
in the constitution of the sociality of the subjects through the search,
accumulation and transmission of knowledge.
