Oct 1st:
In this blog, we – three students at the Communication for Development Masters at Malmö Högskola – intend to discuss matters of Community Media in relation to ICT4D and new media. We will post longer blog posts, attempting to answer four different questions:
1: Do we need community media? An introduction to community media, defining our terms, making an argument for it is or is not important for development.
2: Should new media replace the old? A discussion of the pros and cons of new and old media.
3: Who is represented? A discussion about conflicts of interest/representation embedded in community media.
Feel free to comment and get involved with our discussion!
