RODRIGUEZ PAEZ, Luis Carlos. Initial Reflections: Renewal of the District Public Policy for Community Communication in Bogotá. Investig. desarro. [online]. 2023, vol.31, n.2, pp.275-307.  Epub Nov 14, 2023. ISSN 0121-3261.  https://doi.org/10.14482/indes.31.02.280.111.

This text aims to present an academic reflection on the process of renewal of the public community policy in Bogota - Colombia, which will be carried out between 2020 and 2023. Initially, it presents the conceptual considerations on which the work is based in relation to communication policies, community communication, and the problematic crossover between these concepts. Then, it attempts to describe and analyze the tensions originated within the Mesa Distrital de Comunicación Comunitaria, in the framework of the preparatory phase of the public policy. And, finally, it suggests some ideas or challenges resulting from the experience, which could well be assumed in the future stages of the political project. Among them, it is worth highlighting the urgent need to redefine community communication, based on the practices exercised by community media and the current historical moment, because, only in this way, it would be possible to identify the character of communication and the meaning of public policy in the current reconstruction process.

Keywords : Community communication; communication policies; district board community communication.
