Punto Cero is the academic and scientific magazine of the Social Communication Sciences Program at "San Pablo" Catholic University of Bolivia. It was created in 1994 to specifically broach subjects of communication and culture, and those of social sciences in general. It is part of the Ibero American Network of Communication and Culture magazines.

Even though its name is inspired from the German Hans Magnus Enzensberger’s propositions, it does not entail the radical notion suggested by this author in a postmodern- influenced context, by declaring that the production of senses is set off from a complete communicational vacuum and that meaning is produced only when the receptor’s mind comes in contact with the messages. It is not the contrary, either.

Its mission is to contribute to the dissemination of scientific knowledge in communication sciences produced in Bolivia and Latin America, with quality internationally indexed criteria, in order to confirm the presence of the country and the region between the scientific and academic community of the world.

In the first stage (1994/2003) it was published annually. Since 2003, it has been published semiannually. The first semester edition is available in May. The second semester edition is available in November.

The magazine publishes research results, case studies, argumentative essays, thought provoking or subject review articles, which deal with general communication topics and / or their relationships with culture, politics, education and development.
