La formación de periodistas y comunicadores durante la dictadura: El caso de la escuela superior de periodismo y comunicación de la uNLP durante 1976-1981

María Guadalupe Guillermo, Pamela Vestfrid

La Plata: Editorial de la Universidad de La Plata (edulp) (2007), 226 pp.

"[...] se va configurando un trabajo basado en entrevistas y relevamiento de documentación institucional (planes de estudio, actas, programas de materias) que describen el marco general de situación y los procesos pedagógicos más concretos: relación docente-alumno, docente-autoridad, autoridad- ... alumno, etc., que son aquellos lugares donde la materialidad de las propuestas de estudio cobran vida. Las voces de los protagonistas, que se entrecruzan, chocan y disputan un relato que no es homogéneo, son el elemento más valioso y fecundo de la investigación, porque así pareciera estar dispuesto por las autoras. Los momentos de análisis y reflexión autoral se presentan como puntos de cierre y conclusión, pero el verdadero trabajo de investigación puede rastrearse en la edición y ordenamiento de los relatos de los docentes, alumnos y directivos de aquella época. De esta manera se ejercita la memoria, pero desde un ángulo que evita caer en lugares comunes, que evade la repetición. La repetición, ensayamos, no hace más que gestar obstáculos hacia la problematización. Este libro hace lo contrario, y así se une a los trabajos que indagan sobre todas las formas donde el poder político y represivo cobra vida. Por eso las autoras entienden el diseño curricular como proceso, como una propuesta político-educativa, y no como permanencia o anclaje. Pero el aporte más destacado de esta obra se encuentra no tanto en la nueva lectura que permite sobre el pasado de la institución y las complejas zonas de intervención de los ideales y acciones de la ideología militar, sino más bien en la interpretación que posibilita sobre este presente de la formación de comunicadores, que en la actualidad es guiada, criticada y transformada por aquellos que se iniciaron y educaron bajo los lineamientos del Plan de estudios 77. El hecho se presenta como relevante en tanto la forma de entender el proceso educativo en la actualidad sigue en mayor o menor medida impregnada –o inevitablemente heredada - con los modos en que se concebía en aquella época. En esta dirección es muy claro el ejemplo del régimen de evaluación y promoción instaurado durante el Plan 77 que aún fija las condiciones de aprobación de las materias en las carreras de la Facultad: 80 por ciento de asistencia a clase, calificación de 7 o más para promocionar, parciales o trabajos que pudieran determinar si los objetivos propuestos fueron alcanzados; lo que permite inferir una “concepción de la evaluación ligada a la mera comprobación”. Es decir, normativas que se enmarcan, junto a numerosos procesos pedagógicos, en lo que las autoras definen como “postura educativa tecnicista”. Estas cuestiones nos permiten formular la pregunta, o al menos darle la posibilidad a la inquietud, sobre el lugar que ocupan estos elementos hoy en el proceso formativo más general. Es necesario dejar en claro que la mirada sobre el Plan 77 no desestima el lugar que el texto le da al análisis del Plan 72, sino todo lo contrario, teniendo en cuenta que su estudio es vital para comprender las rupturas entre ambos Planes en el marco delacontecer político-formativo de la época. Pero es cierto que en términos de primacía y peso histórico, el Plan 77 tiene un lugar clave en el total de las cuestiones que hacen al desarrollo de la institución. “La formación de periodistas...” es un libro que invita a ser leído por su simpleza y capacidad de descripción, aunque por momentos la propia postura de las autoras parece disiparse entre los relatos dispares de los entrevistados, y de estos en su relación con los documentos relevados. Siempre es difícil darle un cierre a todo lo que la dictadura ha rozado y quemado con los filamentos de la violencia política, circunstancia a la que no escapa este libro ni estos párrafos. Pero si las conclusiones abiertas sirven para seguir indagando, recordando e invitando a revisar una y mil veces más los hechos desgraciados y equívocos de nuestro pasado, sin importar quiénes hayan sido sus responsables, bienvenidas sean."

Promoting Independent Media: Strategies for Democracy Assistance
Deep Insights

Krishna Kumar

Boulder, Colo.; London: Rienner (2006), 189 pp.

"This book represents one step in explaining international efforts to promote independent media. It attempts to examine the nature and significance of media assistance, discussing the evolution of the field, the focus of various programming approaches, and the possible impact of such efforts. It pre ... sents case studies of media assistance programs in different countries. The book concludes with a set of recommendations for expanding and deepening media assistance for the international community. This book project grew out of a multi-country study that I directed in 2002–2004 to examine media assistance programs funded by the US Agency for International Development. The overall purpose of the study was to assess the nature and effectiveness of USAID programs and make policy and programmatic recommendations for the future. In writing this book I have mostly drawn from the massive information collected during two years of research and analysis. The book is based primarily on three sources of information. First are reviews of literature covering scholarly writings, project and program documents, and articles in popular magazines and newspapers on media assistance. Such reviews were country specific as well as global in nature. Because the academic literature is extremely limited and media assistance is hardly covered in magazines and newspapers except in high-profile cases such as Bosnia and Serbia, reviews largely relied on program documentation. I had the unique advantage of perusing thousands of documents that are not available to the public. Although mostly descriptive and often self-serving, they identified critical gaps in our knowledge and illuminated the challenges and achievements of international media endeavors. Second, my colleagues and I undertook extensive fieldwork in seven countries/regions—Afghanistan, Bosnia, Central America, Indonesia, Russia, Serbia, and Sierra Leone. In each of these cases, research teams conducted extensive discussions with international donor agencies, officials of host countries, project staff and contractors, and local media experts and journalists. Every possible effort was made to interview all those experts and managers who had intimate knowledge of the ongoing media assistance programs. Teams also examined locally available documents and reports and used translators to translate documents into English when necessary. In the absence of hard quantitative data, they largely relied on available documentation, indepth interviews, and their own knowledge of the media scene for their findings and conclusions. Finally, I organized a series of meetings in Washington, D.C., to discuss the findings of the country studies and explore new directions for media assistance programs. Such meetings helped to identify many problems and challenges facing media assistance programs and helped in formulating a set of recommendation for policymakers." (Chapter 1, page 10-11) more
