Talk:Community media

message: Hello, my name is Deanna and as part of an assignment for my Media Literacy class I was required to review and critique this article. 
Something I noticed were links to pages that no longer exist, which just need to be updated if the webpage exists under a different URL. If the page has been fully removed, those citations may need to be removed from the article as well. It could be considered plagiarism when the sources are not properly cited. Another issue is also that, if the URL’s don’t work, then the readers don’t know where they are getting the information from. I also saw that there were some sections that were a bit unclear. The subject matter was not entirely relevant to the article and I believe it could do without. There were a few inline citations where the references were present, however the sources were also unclear. A way to improve on this is to double check that each reference has a reliable source to back it.  A lot of references were also backed up by the same source which could also mean a lack of diverse viewpoints. If the article is based on one main viewpoint then there is a chance for a biased pull.

message: For my Media Literacy Class, I was asked to edit a piece of this article. Here are my edits for the first section. I left the first sentence alone and incorporated a larger definition
 “Community media are any form of media that function in service of or by a community.” It is the rise of all kinds of alternative, oppositional, participatory and collaborative media practices that have developed in the journalistic context of ‘community media,’ ‘we media,’ ‘citizens media,’ ‘grassroot journalism’ or any radical alternative to on and offline mainstream journalistic practices.  In other words, it is having access to or creating local alternatives to mainstream broadcasting , like local community newspapers, radio stations, or magazines . Community Media aids in the process of building citizenship and raising social awareness. “Participation” and “access” are a large aspect in the rise of community media. Those who create media are being encouraged to involve themselves in providing a platform for others to express views. Community media is often given parameters when being defined by groups, but often challenges these boundaries with its broad yet narrow structure .

message: I have placed a collaborative definition of community media up on this redirect page and omitted the redirect from citizen's media so that this page stands alone when it is searched. I will link citizen's media and other forms of community media in the text of this page. thanks. Sickboy1967 12:58, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

message: This article relies too heavily on the book by Rennie, and needs more sources for balance. Some sections quote pages from the book in order, possibly indicating that the article was constructed by reading through the book. Also, there seems to be a lot of overlap with Citizen media and Participatory media articles, leading to duplication, contradiction and WP:content forks.

message: I plan to add the following to the existing Community Media page. After reading the page, I felt that the aspect of minority representation in community media was very underrepresented. After researching this topic, I have come up with a proposed addition to this page:
Community Media can be used in a number of ways to encourage many different minority groups to engage in their communities. Statisticshttps://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcome/?toURL=https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesagencycouncil/2017/09/15/how-community-media-can-encourage-minority-communities-to-engage/2&refURL=https://www.google.com/&referrer=https://www.google.com/ show that minorities are dramatically underrepresented in community mediahttps://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcome/?toURL=https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesagencycouncil/2017/09/15/how-community-media-can-encourage-minority-communities-to-engage/2&refURL=https://www.google.com/&referrer=https://www.google.com/. Strong community media often brings communities together.https://www.humanityinaction.org/knowledgebase/71-what-is-the-new-york-community-media-alliance Through this, a community can grow and begin to form trust.
Minorities of all ages can benefit from engaging in community media. The skills to create their own community media, through video, photo and audio recording can be made available for those wishing to directly engage and provide their community with media.https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesagencycouncil/2017/09/15/how-community-media-can-encourage-minority-communities-to-engage/#f640084203c9 When it comes to engagement, there can be those who engage and follow the community media, and also those who learn the necessary skills and produce the community media. These skills can be learned by different minority groups and this education can provide numerous opportunities to help spread the message of minority groups that has been underrepresented in today’s community media.https://www.thriveglobal.com/stories/12347-human-diversity-in-the-media Michaelcronin15 (talk) 19:58, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

message: Community media in South Africa is still developing. Community media started in 1993 when the Independent Broadcasting Authority Act was passed. This law was made between post apartheid government and South African civil society because of the need and want for media transformation.[1] The reason for this growth is because of activist. Activists are using these new platforms to promote events and connect with other people around them. Additionally they’re using media to practice their craft and expand their audiences.
