Right To Communication : Contributions To The Definition Of A Concept

This article aims to present the doctrinal theoretical attempts, national and foreign, about the definition of the right to communication term, considering that the absence of a precise and consensus definition may constitute an obstacle to its understanding. To fulfill the proposed objectives of this paper, national and foreign theories were researched, as well the productions of researchers associated at Research Group - Policies and Communication Strategies, of the Brazilian Association of Interdisciplinary Studies in Communication - INTERCOM, presented at the national congresses of the INTERCOM, from 2003 to 2013. In conclusion was proposed a conceptual definition for the term.
