Several decades of political, social, and cultural history, documented in the archives of the newspaper La Tercera and other national media outlets, will now be integrated into university academic work.
This Monday, May 25th, the "La Tercera–UDD: Media, Democracy, and Society" Chair will be presented in the main auditorium of the Universidad del Desarrollo. This initiative arose from the transfer of the Copesa Documentation Center (CEDOC) archives to the university.
The goal is to preserve this material and promote its use in research, teaching, and analysis of the role of the media in democratic life.
As part of the event, a panel discussion titled "La Tercera: Witness and Protagonist of Changes in Chile and the World" will be held, featuring former and current directors of the media outlet: Fernando Paulsen, Cristián Bofill, Guillermo Turner, Juan Pablo Larraín, and José Luis Santa María.
The partnership includes the preservation of archives and documentary materials that record the political, social, technological, and cultural transformations of recent decades, with access available to various faculties and academic programs.
Currently, journalism and communication students are already working with publications such as Paula, Qué Pasa, and Ercilla in investigative journalism courses, using these archives to explore political processes, social phenomena, and cultural changes both in Chile and abroad.
