Since our first newsletter, two highly relevant invitations have been extended to the members of the project. Patricia Peña was called to be part of the Advisory Commission Against Disinformationwhile Chiara Sáez was invited to participate in the drafting committee of the Compliance Report of the UNESCO Convention on Cultural Diversity, under preparation by the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage.
Both invitations reflect an appreciation for the prior documentation and knowledge systematization work conducted by the researchers in various topics within the field of communication while contributing to discussions aimed at a greater democratization of communications based on empirical evidence and applied research, as well as various strategies for advocacy and relations with public agencies, social organizations and media.
Research in communication already has a substantial level of academic and scientific maturity in Chile. However, the generated knowledge must not remain encapsulated only in the university space: being able to influence public policymakers and public opinion generators is urgent and important in order to contribute seriousness to the circulating debates.
The project on #IRCC_Chile is on this path regarding the discussion on regulation. We are interested in researching in order to influence with evidence.
