This research aims to raise a series of needs that demand students and professionals of the degree in communication Sciences of the University of Veracruz that lead to the restructuring of the curriculum strengthening the journalism area through educational innovation with the support of information and communication technologies, to that the students have the theoretical, methodological, practical and attitudinal tools that allow them to develop in the labor field in a competitive and innovative way, able to realize strategies and products of information and communication that contribute to promote democratic and quality communication processes in the context local-global, with an ethical and humanistic education committed to social development.
It is based on the quantitative method, using the census as a research technique, questioning the 208 students enrolled in the degree in communication sciences in the open system (SEA) during the February-July 2016 school period and nine teachers that teach professorship in the area of journalism. The methodology allowed to know the weaknesses of the curriculum and the needs of the communicators that today must be able to face the new forms of transmit information, we must work towards a new profile of the communicator; students demanded other knowledge that is not addressed in this curriculum that operates by objectives and not by competition. They require the inclusion of professional practices and seminars, as well as the establishment of links with media companies and public and private organizations.
