Stockholm 2008 - Community Communication Section Call for Papers

IAMCR’s Community Communication section is the premier international forum for community and alternative media studies. This is the place for research on media practices that differ significantly from government and market-dominated paradigms. These media originate, circulate and resonate from the sphere of civil society, yet may interact with both state and market. Community media serve specific cultural or geographic communities. The field includes do-it-yourself media, media for social change, and a wide range of non-governmental and non-commercial practices using all kinds of communication technologies.
