This study analyzes communication developed at Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG), particularly at its press service (Ascom). By surpassing the functionalist/technicist approach that is traditionally linked to this field of expertise, the analysis focused on UFG s communication actions to verify the extent of internal communication. Part of the university community defined as the internal public is made up mainly of alumni, faculty and administrative staff members, all directly involved with the dynamics of the institution. The object of study was approached in two strategic movements. In the first, the aim was to understand communication actions structured at Ascom based on contemporary thinkers, such as Dominique Wolton and Jürgen Habermas. My concern was to establish a context of uses and functions, of elements and relations, in addition to establishing a proper history of communications at UFG, all of which would enable me to define communication and its meanings. The second movement was dedicated to exploring, through empirical research and qualitative methods, notions brought up by university community members regarding institutional communication, communication policy, perspectives for communication at UFG and for Ascom s most important communications media: Jornal UFG and Portal UFG. From such media I extracted what I considered to be relevant towards understanding what they represent within the context of internal communication at UFG. To find out more about this reality and to obtain information from those that deal with and feel communication at UFG, I carried out interviews with the following three groups: 1. members of UFG s higher administration (rector and deans) and leaders of organizations representing alumni (Diretório Central dos Estudantes DCE), administrative staff members (Sindicato dos Trabalhadores Técnico-Administrativos em Educação Sint-IfesGO) and faculty members (Sindicato dos Docentes da Universidade Federal de Goiás Adufg Sindical); 2. heads of communication channels (Ascom, Rádio Universitária, TV UFG and Ombudsman Department); 3. other members of the university community. Far from attempting to encompass the entire range of elements and meanings that rule a world as wide as communication, with its huge apparatus of media and processes, this investigation was guided by the concern to project some of its angles and perspectives on an organization as complex as a university. My aim was to reflect upon what already exists, bearing in mind that communication is an in fieri process that requires constant feeding, rethinking and recreating, as well as a policy of its own that stands on an institution s basic principles, especially public interest.
