titutions, most utilised equipment and much of the commonly employed technical jargon associated with practical activities. More importantly, it attempts to demystify the language and idiom used right across the media. This includes a whole range of processes, jobs, skills and associated working practices. Each entry tries not only to define and explain, but also to develop further understanding. It may be a piece of equipment such as a SOUND MIXING DESK or a DIGITAL BETACAM, or an activity such as creating a filming schedule. After each definition there is accessible text explaining more about what the equipment does or what the activity involves, and, if appropriate, how and why. An entry may be an explanation of one of the many production or technical jobs found in the media, such as RUNNER or ASSISTANT CAMERAMAN. The role and nature of the job is fully explained."

ers – often with widely differing linguistic backgrounds – work together and need to use a common vocabulary. Over the years, however, definitions evolved in such a way that they bristled with faux amis, ambivalence and ambiguity. It had become urgent to clarify and refine the language employed and to give it a harmonious, common basis. With this publication, the WP-EV hopes to facilitate and improve dialogue and understanding among all those who are involved in development activities and their evaluation, whether in partner countries, development agencies and banks, or non-governmental organisations. It should serve as a valuable reference guide in evaluation training and in practical development work." (Foreword)

ar mayor crédito a las palabras de Mcluhan, según las cuáles la humanidad es hoy como una aldea global. Esta aldea global, llamada por Juan Pablo II uno de los areópagos contemporáneos (RD 37) exige de parte de todos los agentes de pastoral -una mayor comprensión y conocimiento a fin de, como lo señala el Papa, sepamos influir en esta nueva cultura. Parte de ese conocimiento exige tener claridad sobre los usos más comunes de los términos que se emplean en el mundo de los medios, y más específicamente en el de las nuevas tecnologías, que han invadido más intensamente la vida de las personas. Para cumplir esta tarea hemos querido ofrecer el Vocabulario de la Comunicación Social, teniendo además la garantía de que será una herramienta útil para otras personas que se desenvuelven en el mundo de la comunicación social. Pensamos específicamente en los estudiantes y profesionales de la comunicación." (https://documental.celam.org)
