Abstract
In 2008, the European Parliament (2008) discussed a legal framework that aimed at promoting ‘community media’ within its member states, considering them as ‘effective means of strengthening cultural and linguistic diversity, social inclusion and local identity, as well as media pluralism’. In 2009, the international media development organization Internews Network published, thanks to the ‘generous support’ of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), a ‘community media sustainability guide’ which aims at extending their range into the most isolated areas of the globe, such as Afghanistan (Fairbain, 2009). In 2010, after receiving a grant from the Ford Foundation, representatives of New York City’s 350-plus ethnic and community media organizations emphasized that the success of these media ‘is essential to an informed and engaged population, and ultimately to a thriving democracy’ (CUNY, 2010). In 2011, the World Social Forum in Dakar called for ‘building advocacy for a legislative and regulatory framework for public, alternative and community media’ (WSF, 2011).
