TRAMPUZ, Juan Pablo; BARREDO-IBANEZ, Daniel  and  PALOMO-TORRES, María Bella. University Media as Learning Environments: The Case of Ecuador. REDIE [online]. 2021, vol.23, e14.  Epub Nov 08, 2021. ISSN 1607-4041.  https://doi.org/10.24320/redie.2021.23.e14.3673.

The newsrooms of university media (UM) outlets have become a key environment for learning through journalism. However, amid such a transformation, it is necessary to reflect on the future of these spaces. This research employs a Delphi survey to consult a group of experts with the goal of reaching a consensus on the current and prospective situation of UM in Ecuador. The results identify a number of factors that shape these environments, which face a future that appears marked by networking, media convergence, and the growing importance of virtual newsrooms. In conclusion, in the face of an environment marked by a need for change and ever-dwindling financial resources, we recommend strengthening collaboration with other agents.

Keywords : activity learning; mass media; higher education; teaching practice; journalism.
