[Commlist] New Book: Community Media, Sustainability and Crisis: Lessons from Covid and beyond

Salvatore Scifo and Andrew Ó Baoill are pleased to announce the 
publication of our new collection, published by Bloomsbury.

/Community Media, Sustainability and Crisis /examines how community 
media responds when existing structures and normal expectations are 
upended, across a global set of perspectives.
This original collection draws on a truly global set of perspectives, 
with authors from Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas, who explore a 
range of ideological, political, economic, and cultural factors that 
shape how community media projects respond to crises. Contributors 
analyze how to evaluate the sustainability and operation of community 
media, using case studies centered on community radio station responses 
from across a range of geographical settings during the COVID-19 
pandemic. Through broadening focus to discuss community radio with other 
forms of crisis such as communities rebuilding after earthquakes and 
natural disasters, the authors describe how community media can be an 
important resource for community resilience and recovery.
