Abstract:

We present the results of a research that analyzed the processes and communication strategies by the entities represented in the National Health Council, 2018 – 2021 administration. The production of alternative communication by civil society constitutes one of the fundamental principles of democratic regimes for an important American institutionalist author (Robert Dahl). The emergence of the Internet and social networks has brought new demands for these organizations to disseminate their ideas and being present in this network society (Castells). The study aimed to analyze the extent to which these entities are present in the digital media and to verify if there were significant differences in the communication capacity among the segments represented in the Council. A survey was applied to the communication departments of the 42 CNS entitiesSeptember 2019 to February 2020. Thirty-four responses were obtained (81%). The results show the existence of three different levels of development in communication work in these entities, regardless of the macro institutional categories. At the end, it discuss the results in light of the polyarchy and the digital democracy models, and it points out new steps towards effectively democratic communication policies and participation.
