Drawing on both theoretical and practical case studies, Community Media moves from developingattempts at local media to case studies and on to cyber-examples. Alphabetically, its more than twodozen cases include reports on the Asian Pacific region, Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, Ghana, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Latin America, Lebanon,Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey,the United Kingdom, the United States, as well as a number of other perspectives and (virtual) visions. The contributors, all distinguished international communicationsscholars, present a range of perspectives on the ever-burgeoning area of grassroots, local media by the people, for the people, their research representing participant observation, hands-on community involvement,serving on international boards of directors, content analysis, and ethical inquiries. It will appeal to a range of academic disciplines, community media groups, and the thousands of people who work in their local cabletelevision centers to provide an alternative voice to mainstream media. |
