Abstract

In the current context of planetary crisis and inequality, communication and its media are strategic spaces from which to work for more just, representative and socially and ecologically responsible societies. This state of the question explores the theoretical debates and main contributions to eco-social and communicative justice of the media reform movements in different parts of the planet since the publication of historical milestones such as the Hutchins Report (1947) and the McBride Report (1980). NOTE: This monograph is part of the R&D "Sustainability of the Third Communication Sector. Design and Application of Indicators" (SOSCom) [PID2020-113011RB-I00 funded by MCIN/ AEI/ 10.13039/501100011033] and the lines of action of the Research Network on Community, Alternative and Participatory Communication (RICCAP).
