Hello, my name is Deanna and as part of an assignment for my Media Literacy class I was required to review and critique this article. Something I noticed were links to pages that no longer exist, which just need to be updated if the webpage exists under a different URL. If the page has been fully removed, those citations may need to be removed from the article as well. It could be considered plagiarism when the sources are not properly cited. Another issue is also that, if the URL’s don’t work, then the readers don’t know where they are getting the information from. I also saw that there were some sections that were a bit unclear. The subject matter was not entirely relevant to the article and I believe it could do without. There were a few inline citations where the references were present, however the sources were also unclear. A way to improve on this is to double check that each reference has a reliable source to back it. A lot of references were also backed up by the same source which could also mean a lack of diverse viewpoints. If the article is based on one main viewpoint then there is a chance for a biased pull.

MCO 220 Edit suggestions

For my Media Literacy Class, I was asked to edit a piece of this article. Here are my edits for the first section. I left the first sentence alone and incorporated a larger definition

“Community media are any form of media that function in service of or by a community.” It is the rise of all kinds of alternative, oppositional, participatory and collaborative media practices that have developed in the journalistic context of ‘community media,’ ‘we media,’ ‘citizens media,’ ‘grassroot journalism’ or any radical alternative to on and offline mainstream journalistic practices.  In other words, it is having access to or creating local alternatives to mainstream broadcasting , like local community newspapers, radio stations, or magazines . Community Media aids in the process of building citizenship and raising social awareness. “Participation” and “access” are a large aspect in the rise of community media. Those who create media are being encouraged to involve themselves in providing a platform for others to express views. Community media is often given parameters when being defined by groups, but often challenges these boundaries with its broad yet narrow structure .

I have placed a collaborative definition of community media up on this redirect page and omitted the redirect from citizen's media so that this page stands alone when it is searched. I will link citizen's media and other forms of community media in the text of this page. thanks. Sickboy1967 12:58, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

158.169.131.14 13:45, 26 June 2007 (UTC) I have difficulties to understand the difference between community media and social media. We should comment on this differences within this page.

objectivity

I have read this contribution several times and consider it to be fair attempt to describe a field of fluid practices and interlocking and competing theories. The range of references could be updated to accommodate more recent work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Filmpartscom (talk • contribs) 07:24, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

needs greater variety of references

This article relies too heavily on the book by Rennie, and needs more sources for balance. Some sections quote pages from the book in order, possibly indicating that the article was constructed by reading through the book. Also, there seems to be a lot of overlap with Citizen media and Participatory media articles, leading to duplication, contradiction and WP:content forks. Regards, 1292simon (talk) 12:51, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

This article is a artile that i feel can use way more balance then the information that is already on here. Hi, I tried adding some information about the community radio in chile. Would like to contribute more based on other references and ideas. The one i added is from a reading which is also mentioned in the references and bibliography. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paged98 (talk • contribs) 10:27, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

content extension

I plan to add the following to the existing Community Media page. After reading the page, I felt that the aspect of minority representation in community media was very underrepresented. After researching this topic, I have come up with a proposed addition to this page:

Community Media can be used in a number of ways to encourage many different minority groups to engage in their communities. Statistics show that minorities are dramatically underrepresented in community media. Strong community media often brings communities together. Through this, a community can grow and begin to form trust.

Minorities of all ages can benefit from engaging in community media. The skills to create their own community media, through video, photo and audio recording can be made available for those wishing to directly engage and provide their community with media. When it comes to engagement, there can be those who engage and follow the community media, and also those who learn the necessary skills and produce the community media. These skills can be learned by different minority groups and this education can provide numerous opportunities to help spread the message of minority groups that has been underrepresented in today’s community media.

Community Media in South Africa

Community media in South Africa is still developing. Community media started in 1993 when the Independent Broadcasting Authority Act was passed. This law was made between post apartheid government and South African civil society because of the need and want for media transformation.[1] The reason for this growth is because of activist. Activists are using these new platforms to promote events and connect with other people around them. Additionally they’re using media to practice their craft and expand their audiences. The way that South Africa views community media as a way to make people think more about solutions and not just the conflict.[2] Community media in South Africa is also important for building and improving the government and democracy in the country. Media allows for citizens' voices to be heard by the leaders in charge and other people around the world. Community Media in South Africa has multiple sectors like print, radio, television, etc.[3]

Peer review: This is a well-organized article, and it was easy to understand. There are a few grammatical errors to look at that would neaten up the article, and I would also look at a few of the terms used just to make sure that you aren't pushing a certain view on the writing, like when you write about how it is important for building and improving the government and democracy in the country - just try tweaking the words slightly. I would also suggest adding an example of one of the sectors of media - like mention a certain television or radio show. I think this could be a good addition to the article and give you a way to include a fourth source, which you have not yet included. I found your sources to be reliable and filled with good information to further your article if people want to look into it more. Mlss00 (talk) 19:11, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
