| [Nettime-bold] Community Media Researcher seeks assistance |
Contact Kevin Howley <khowley@lynx.dac.neu.edu> Assistant Professor Department of Communication Studies Northeastern University 139 Holmes Hall Boston, MA 02115 Tel.

Currently, I am working on a book about community media. By community media, I refer to grassroots or locally oriented media access initiatives predicated on a profound sense of dissatisfaction with mainstream media form and content, dedicated to the principles of free expression and participatory democracy, and committed to preserving of local cultural autonomy and promoting community solidarity. This book consists of original research on four different geographic communities making use of four discrete technologies (radio, television, newspaper, and computer networks) for purposes of community communication. This volume seeks to demonstrate community media's social, political, and cultural relevance in an increasingly global media environment. In addition to these case studies, I hope to construct a substantive, but by no means comprehensive overview of community media around the world. To that end, I am seeking contact information for researchers and practitioners with first-hand knowledge of community media organizations. Specifically, I would like to establish a working relationship with anyone who has an abiding theoretical and/or practical interest in the day-to-day operations of community media organizations. If you or someone you know is interested in lending research assistance or serving as an informant for this project, please contact me off the list.
