Dear all

This is the first message of our new listserv communitymediainconflict-l

I have created this list for those of us doing research on, or working 
with, or supporting community media in areas of armed conflict. The idea 
is to begin consolidating a community among us, an inclusive community 
of practitioners, media producers, academics, people at NGOs, at 
international organizations, etc.

We should all be able to send messages to the list by sending to: 
communitymediainconflict-l at lists.ou.edu

Archives will be kept at lists.ou.edu (search under 
communitymediainconflict-l)

Also, Benjamin Ferron already set up a link in the Alternative Media 
Global Project wiki so that we can centralize a bibliography about this 
subject. There's nothing at the moment in the wiki but in the next few 
days I will upload what I know of. If we all do the same, soon we should 
have a comprehensive bank of resources (wiki link is: 
http://www.ourmedianetwork.org/wiki/bibliography:ams_theme). (If you 
don't want to mess with the wiki, send me bibliographic entries and I 
will add them; we can add books, journal articles, reports, web 
materials, anything ...)

Finally, here is a link to Diana Coryat's recent article about two youth 
community media projects in Colombia and how these young Colombians are 
using media to buffer armed conflict:

_Given how busy we all are with email and numerous listservs I would 
like to ask everyone to use this list exclusively for the topic it was 
created for.
