Given that the central issue is the relationship between university and State, most of the journalistic reports used are part of the files dedicated to the UAG in the Fondo de Investigaciones Políticas y Sociales del Archivo General de la Nación. Notwithstanding, media consultation is the starting point to reconstruct the role of journalism in the debates around political participation and democracy based on the coverage of events in Guerrero during the study period. The present study is not an exhaustive study of the publications since the purpose is not to characterize journals, newspapers, or journalistic careers. Methodologically, this study is based on a review of documentary and newspaper sources, exploring the relevance of the written press in the conflict about the legitimization of the university project in Guerrero. We present a first approach to the conflict between the University in Guerrero and the State its meaning to the slow construction of democracy as a matter of public discussion in Mexico, highlighting the relevance of journalism during the conflict and its role in shaping the UAG as an agent of socio-political change in southern Mexico.

The Universidad Autónoma de Guerrero (UAG) was associated from the onset with opposing the governments’ authoritarian structure and the arbitrary exercise of power in Mexico, which at some point made it the focal point of national political dissent and a constant challenge to the local and national government. One of the turning points of this dynamic took place in 1960 in the State of Guerrero, located in Mexico’s southwest when the student and academia’s demand to create an autonomous institution of higher learning found points of convergence with social groups who sought more profound social and political transformations. In twentieth-century Mexico, the relationship between local governments and political dissent was highly conflictive. However, Guerrero and Puebla’s experiences stand out due to their temporal scope and socio-political relevance. One premise of this study is that all these cases are deeply related, although that relationship needs to be explored in depth. Although these experiences were meaningful, this study sought to research and understand new cases of this radical trend within Mexican higher education. The objective is to understand the characteristics and role of popular university projects in Mexico (for instance, in Guerrero, Sinaloa, Nuevo León, and Puebla). This study presents the first reflections on a larger project around the public university’s role in reconfiguring the State and Mexico’s postrevolutionary politics. Palabras clave: Universidad-Pueblo educación superior periodismo democracia Guerrero México El proyecto de Universidad-Pueblo constituye una de las experiencias más radicales y complejas de este proceso y su estudio permite analizar la relevancia de las instituciones de educación superior dentro de la vida pública de los estados y considerar a la UAG como una esfera democrática al interior del contexto político del estado de Guerrero. Estudiar este proyecto a través de la prensa escrita permite observar la forma en que algunas instituciones de educación superior y sus estudiantes propusieron modelos de universidad críticos, fuertemente articulados con las demandas sociales y movimientos de izquierda frente a un régimen político autoritario en el que las vías democrático institucionales de participación ciudadana estaban prácticamente cerradas. Desde una perspectiva sociohistórica, se aborda el proyecto de Universidad-Pueblo, de la Universidad Autónoma de Guerrero (UAG).
