Abstract

A very important factor in the scientific popularization that the magazines carry out is to be able to contrast the information, opinions or exposed theories. In this sense, a very used fruitful element in the field of the publications on the Anglo-Saxon world is the correspondence with the readers thanks to the section «Letters to the Editor». In this paper, we analyze this section in the magazines published in the Spanish market. Also, we propose activities to be carried out by the students in relation to a dialectical communication of the science and the technology.

Keywords
