Community media are flourishing worldwide because of their diversity and fundamental desire to serve the interests of the people they serve. Whether it is a website, radio or television station, community media have much to celebrate. This panel seeks to highlight recent work of scholars who explore the rich, diverse and original community media:
- Governance structures
- Programming
- Audience research
- Use of technology
- Innovations
- Funding models
These categories are general to allow for a variety of people to propose topics. It is hoped that this panel will be representative of the people who make community media THE multicultural broadcasting example of the world.
Special arrangements will be made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate. In addition, a number of social events will be organized: A Greek night of entertainment with dinner, a special one-day cruise to selected Greek islands, an archaeological tour of Athens and a one-day visit to Delphi. Details of the social program are available here.
