Frenar la imprudencia, salva una vida: El camino a la prevención vial en Valledupar.

Abstract

This work exposes the way in which the press in its transforming role can, with journalistic works, instruct, build and urge public awareness of problems such as traffic accidents. Since road prevention is not only a series of institutional policies that seek to reduce road accidents and improve mobility, but the product of purely human misconduct that has little media coverage that allows us to reflect on it. Day-to-day traffic accidents due to different circumstances, which are sometimes unrelated to journalists or social communicators, remain on paper with the mere number of fatalities and injuries in the incident or on how the tragedy occurred; leaving aside the deep analysis of how it affects the family, social, political and even the economic nucleus.
