Introduction
The emergence of new information and communication technologies and, especially, the widespread implementation of the Internet as a common resource for global and interpersonal communication have substantially reconfigured the nature of the communication field, although it is no less true that "traditional" media such as the press, radio, film or television are also undergoing a new definition - and often reinvention - to adapt to what has been called the era of media convergence.
It is precisely the need to confront these rich and, at times, radical transformations that serves as the basis for the proposals of this Master in Communication Research . A master's degree that was born with the vocation of contributing to providing answers to the new theoretical and methodological needs in this field, but which also aspires to promote forms of research that respond to the continuous demands of the business world, both in the field of journalism and information as well as in that of audiovisual communication.
