The research surveyed the media skills of the Francisco Gavidia University (UFG) students for the effective use of the information issued by the media and other providers, their practices when issuing an opinion or message, and the information they consume; in addition to how they are informed, educated and entertained. To get that information, focus groups were carried out in remote mode and an online survey with university students. According to the data collected, Facebook is the most used the social network by UFG students; then, they have some media skills and an appropriate behavior when interacting in the different digital media. The investigation also allowed us to investigate that the students have not received, on their own initiative, workshops related to validate techniques for the information they consume or share; however, they have received guidance in some subjects during their academic training process.
