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.
