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.We seek in-depth and cutting-edge research papers on:
