Community Media, Sustainability and Crisis, Gebunden

Klappentext

Community Media, Sustainability and Crisis examines how community media responds when existing structures and normal expectations are upended, across a global set of perspectives.
This original collection draws on a truly global set of perspectives, with authors from Asia, Europe, Africa, and both North and South America, who explore a range of ideological, political, economic, and cultural factors that shape how community media projects respond to crises. Contributors analyze how to evaluate the sustainability and operation of community media, using case studies centered on community radio station responses from across a range of geographical settings during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through broadening focus to discuss community radio with other forms of crisis such as communities rebuilding after earthquakes and natural disasters, the authors describe how community media can be an important resource for community resilience and recovery.
