The university's Abya Yala Publishing House presented the book titled "Communication, development and politics" written by students and professors from the communication undergraduate program and coordinated by Narcisa Medranda and Nina Aguilar.

Authors seek to foster debate and scientific production through articles in order to train future communicators who will be capable of creating participatory processes and communication products.

The book is divided into two parts: the first contains the reflections of professors and researchers in the area of communication, while the second has reflections of professors and alumni.
In the event, Hernán Reyes, official of CIESPAL and Jorge Cruz, professor at PUCE, made comments on the work. Both motivated and invited students to become more involved in the research processes on new information technologies. The board of directors was made up by: José Juncosa, vice president of our branch campus in Quito; María del Carmen Ramírez, director of the Communications program; Hernán Reyes, researcher and official of CIESPAL; Jorge Cruz, from the School of Communication of Universidad Pontificia Católica del Ecuador (PUCE); UPS professors Medranda and Aguiar.
