Abstract

In 2010 the Agência da Boa Notícia de Guajuviras was founded in the city of Canoas (Río Grande do Sul). This is a communication project conceived in the fight against juvenile delinquency in a neighborhood with difficulties. For four months, it trains young people and teenagers in communication and provides them with the autonomy needed to practice it publicly, which also contributes to their empowerment as citizens. This article analyzes the contribution made to the project by the different movements and conceptual proposals that have arisen in response to the demand for a more democratizing communication: from popular communication to citizen journalism.
