*New in Paperback* - 31 January 2012
*The Power of Global Community Media
Edited by Linda K. Fuller*
***With new and updated material.
Drawing on both theoretical and practical case studies, Community Media
moves from developing attempts at local media to case studies and on to
cyber-examples. Alphabetically, its more than two dozen 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
communications scholars, 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 cable television centers to provide an
alternative voice to mainstream media.
'/For years, Fuller has been researching community media. Her collection
of studies in Community Media draws on top researchers from across the
globe to present cutting-edge analyses of what various communities and
activists are doing with a wide range of community media. The collection
is a valuable research tool that will be of use to all of us involved in
community media and social change/.' - Douglas Kellner, Graduate School
of Education and Information Studies, UCLA
