Press time: The future of community media

POSTED: Monday, November 7, 2011, 5:07 PM

Even as conglomerates have consumed and consolidated the media in the United States and around the world, activists and entrepreneurs have been generating grassroots alternatives, in the form of community media, nonprofit websites and other news outlets. Tomorrow, City Paper reporter and columnist Daniel Denvir — along with Temple professor Naomi Schiller — will co-moderate Global Experiences of Media Reform, a forum on the topic hosted at Temple University's Paley Library lecture hall. Pete Tridish of Prometheus Radio Project and Jesús Suárez of Catia TVe in Venezuela join a panel of academics and experts to discuss recent legislation and court decisions affecting media ownership in the Americas, and to offer insight into new movements to sustain community media projects.
