Fwd: [IAMCR] [SPAM] Journal of Alternative and Community Media - CfP Sustaining Community Media

This might be relevant to anyone also engaging in community media projects. Best, -Michael ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Salvatore Scifo <sscifo(a)bournemouth.ac.uk> Date: Thu, Sep 21, 2017 at 10:12 AM Subject: [IAMCR] [SPAM] Journal of Alternative and Community Media - CfP Sustaining Community Media To: "announcements(a)iamcr.org" <announcements(a)iamcr.org> Dear Colleagues, we will be editing a special issue of the Journal of Alternative and Community Media (JoACM), with Dr Andrew O' Baoill of the National University of Ireland at Galway. Our topic is Sustaining Community Media: Challenges and Strategies. We are seeking short abstracts (100-150 words) by 15th November, with full texts of accepted articles due next March. Further below, and in the attached pdf, you can find the full call for papers. We welcome your proposals and informal inquiries. Please circulate to others you think might be interested.

Radio and TV stations, as well as national and international community media organisations must consider funding, governance structures, changing political and economic conditions, while building, consolidating and extending relationships with their listening communities. The concept of sustainability has been widely used in the context of communication for development paradigms, as a lens for assessing the health and success of that sector. This special issue will provide an opportunity to reflect on questions of resilience and endurance as they arise in alternative, radical, oppositional, and community-grounded media, and to explore the various interdependent factors that can impact the ongoing stability and health of community media projects. Concurrently, the association of the term with questions of ecology prompts a reflective and ethical concern that extends beyond the immediate or parochial, and we expect papers that will, in a holistic fashion, explore the role and operation of the sector in the context of broader socio-political concerns. Community media have been the focus of an increasing amount of scholarly attention as they have grown in size, from social movement theorists, to political economists, to those focused on governance and organisational communication. As Atton and Hamilton (2008: 26) note in their analysis of the political economy of alternative journalism, the “general political-economic dilemma for any critical project is that it needs resources with which to work, but those crucial resources are present only in the very society that it seeks to change or dissolve.” This special issue will build on existing knowledge, together with exploration of contemporary case studies, to explore the numerous challenges faced by community media activists and organisations in nurturing long-term projects, and identify strategies and best practices for building a sustainable sector. Questions of sustainability have an immediate practical relevance to those working in the field of community communication - many projects that emerge from the context of short-term tactical media projects struggle with questions of funding and volunteer engagement as the focus of their horizon changes. Also, the workforce and paperwork required by some funding schemes might be a barrier to the search of medium and long-term support. Beyond this, we encourage submissions that tackle the ethical tensions that arise, for instance, for those looking to create media that is at once independent, critical, and financially stable. To what extent is it possible to have a media project that is both oppositional and institutionalised? What compromises or additional work is necessary? How to balance the possible conflict between aims of the stations and those of funding bodies? In challenging contributors to focus on the interplay of practical considerations of funding and resources, together with questions of mission, key commitments, and values, we expect to foster a constructive debate that has the potential to draw on a range of historical examples, as well as explore some distinctive issues arising in the contemporary context. In what ways do the lower barriers to entry for digital publishing support and challenge the development of enduring oppositional projects? With neoliberalism prompting the expansion of commercial logic into ever more areas of human activity, what are the pressures faced by projects grounded in an opposition to commodification and capitalism more broadly? Areas of focus might include the following, with projects that draw together a number of tensions in creative and challenging ways particularly welcome: • Capital and recurrent funding; building revenue streams • Regulatory challenges and solutions • Governance and organisation • Cooperation and health of the sector • Localism and defining community • Maintaining and refreshing relationships with communities • Pragmatism versus idealism Abstracts due: 15 November 2017 Notification of acceptance: 1 December 2017 Publication: mid-to-late 2018 Submission Guidelines: Please send an electronic copy of your 100-150 word abstract via e-mail text to both Guest Editors, Andrew Ó Baoill (andrew.obaoill(a)nuigalway.ie) and Salvatore Scifo (sscifo(a)bournemouth.ac.uk), by Wednesday, 15 November 2017.

Netcommons Survey! Help them with data on CNs

by Jane Coffin

Hi All – See this survey from some great researchers. They are keen to have responses. The survey runs through the end of September – 30 September. Best, Jane Dear Sir/Madam We are a team of researchers based at the University of Westminster in London and working for the netCommons Project (EU Horizon 2020 project netCommons: Network Infrastructure as Commons, http://netcommons.eu). As part of the project, we are conducting an online survey to examine users’ concerns about Internet use and at the same time explore the potential of alternative Internet provision. Such concerns will provide useful input to policy makers and regulators who hold significant responsibilities over the telecommunications and Internet landscape, and consequently need to take informed steps towards the evolution of this landscape. We are looking in particular for respondents (Internet users) who are academic/research staff, students, IT product/services professionals or administrative/clerical staff at Universities or research institutes. We would be grateful if you could take some time (about 20 minutes) to complete the survey. The survey link is: https://d52netcommons.limequery.com/357528?lang=en The survey will be available online until 30 September 2017. Many thanks for your collaboration.

Interesting research

by Michael J. Oghia

Hi everyone, Attached is a peer reviewed study that was shared with me about what the authors describe as "Community-led broadband initiatives," – i.e., community networks. It specifically focuses on the resilience of such networks, and unsurprisingly, their results indicated that the community network model strengthens local rural identity. Best, -Michael
