Bringing together an international team of<BR>scholars and practitioners, it introduces students to the emerging field<BR>of community media studies. Throughout, contributors explore a wide<BR>range of media institutions, forms and practices—community radio,<BR>participatory video, street newspapers, Independent Media Centers<BR>(IMCs), and community informatics—from around the world. Over thirty<BR>original essays consider the particular and distinctive ways local<BR>populations make use of various technologies for purposes of community<BR>communication. The collection provides an incisive and timely analysis<BR>of the relationship between media and society, technology and culture,<BR>and communication and community.</PRE><PRE dir=ltr><BR><BR>CONTENTS<BR><BR>PART I.
