The National Centre for Social Communication (Centro Nacional de Comunicacion Social AC – CENCOS) was founded on June 22 1964 and was registered as a civil association on April 23 1965. It emerged at a time when the communications media really began to break through in our country.
CENCOS was a space of social justice giving visibility to those sectors of the population without access to the main media. These sectors had created alternative ways of communicating to show the reality from the perspective of social concerns. This began a struggle to include different actors in our country where oppression and anonimity violated peoples’ human rights.
Over time, the organization had to adapt its work to the ever-demanding needs, but it retained its progressive vision, assuring its continuation and leadership without losing its critical edge, so that it could represent civil society in various instances at local, national and international levels.
The story of CENCOS is divided into four stages:
Social Communication 1964 to 1969
