Community Communication - Who We Are |
The Community Communication section focuses on media that originates, circulates and resonates from the sphere of civil society. Broadly defined, this is the field of communication that exists outside of the state and the market (often non-government and non-profit), yet which may interact with both. We seek to advance research on the objectives, practices and dynamics of community-based media, including issues of localism, politics, socio-economics, language, ethnicity, gender, or other interests and intersections. We welcome both theoretical and applied research, as well as research conducted at both micro and macro levels of analysis. Our concerns include issues of media access, participation and reception; media projects undertaken by marginalized and underrepresented groups; development and support of community-based media institutions and infrastructures; production and distribution of community, alternative and activist media; and theoretical contributions to the research, evaluation and practice of community communication.
