The expression of information and communication plays a central role in the information society, deeply and comprehensively shaping the way people interact, share knowledge and influence the world around them. This article explores the influence of these elements on various aspects, from access to information to the concerns of the use of it, with a specific focus on graduates of the degree in Documentation and Information Sciences and Technologies from Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração – Instituto Politécnico do Porto. Furthermore, the technological and social impacts of information expression and communication are discussed, along with associated challenges such as the spread of misinformation and privacy issues. By fully recognizing and understanding this influence, we can make the most of the benefits of the information society while responsibly addressing the challenges and ethical dilemmas it presents.

The methodological approach uses a questionnaire survey in order to explore how these professionals perceive and experience the interaction between the expression of information, communication and their professional practice. The results reveal valuable insights into how training in this area influences the understanding and application of information society principles, as well as the challenges and opportunities they face in the current context. This study pretends to contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms through which the expression of information and communication shapes professional practice and society at large.
