Dear Our Media,

Thanks for your many responses, and for your reaffirmed interest in indigenous media and indigenous participation at OM. I hope it translates into collaboration with indigenous communicators and an in-depth discussion at the next OM ( thank you Manish!), as well as online. My disposition is open to continuing this discussion and contribute contacts to indigenous media organizations.

Many thanks,

Amalia

Dear Our Media colleagues:  I'm happy to see the subject of indigenous media being so vigorously discussed by many of you, and have attempted to contribute to the discussion by writing about the subject, most recently in a book which is to be published next month (December). While it isn't only about indigenous experiences, they account for a considerable portion of the book, which covers activity in many parts of the world.  Here are the details:

Donald R. Browne, Ethnic Minorities, Electronic Media and the Public Sphere. Cresskill, New Jersey (US): Hampton Press.

I don't know the price, but it's coming out in paperback, so it shouldn't be too costly!

P.S. -- I did write a book focussing on indigenous experiences with the electronic media:  Electronic Media and Indigenous Peoples: A Voice of Our Own? Ames, Iowa (US): Iowa State University Press (now Blackwell), 1996. It's out of print, but used copies appear now and again. Check Amazon, Alibris, Barnes and Noble and other such websites to see what they list.

Yes I also agree. Am glad to know that Manish has had something
working in Uttaranchal, I too have an interest in that part of the
world.

I am copying this to the new list which is opening up to discuss OMV
(nothing much has happened so far, but some of you may want to be
there right now, if you aren't already).

Dear Amalia,

It's nice to see someone finally voicing the importance of indigenous
communication and communicators.
I agree with your idea that it would add value to OM conference if we also
include indigenous communicators in our deliberations at the larger scale.
This is what many would call 'mainstreaming indigenous communicators'.
There may be certain issues before bringing them on OM platform. However, I
do not think it would be such a issue which would totally deny their
participation at any level in OM conference.

In India we have such communication processes going on for years. I have
been exposed to such people and processes in the states of Uttaranchal,
Bihar and UP during my work and study.

It may be a good idea to start with OM V and invite indigenous communicators
on board. I am sure my Indian friends would help in working out a strategy.

Best regards,

Manish Kumar
