---Apologies for cross-posting--- Dear All, members of the list might be interested in article from Peter Lewis, who has recently published 'Finding and funding Voices: the London experience', a comparative study of community media in London, Cardiff, Budapest and Stockholm, on the journal Information, Society and Justice (ISJ). In the article, that can be downloaded free of charge from http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/londonmet/library/s16011_3.pdf , Peter tackles the question of how are the voices of marginalised and disadvantaged communities to be heard in a large conurbation and argues the importance of community media, and particularly community radio, in providing such communities with opportunities to express their cultures and concerns. Even though its main focus is the city of London, whose size and geography pose special problems for broadcast coverage, comparisons are made with other European capital cities – Budapest, Cardiff and Stockholm - and the historical legacy of London’s problems, which has defeated other attempts in the past to use radio to meet the needs of London communities, is also briefly summarised. The study is a follow-up to the Finding and Funding Voices international colloquim held at the Graduate Centre, London Metropolitan University, on 17 September 2007. The conference report can be downloaded from http://www.communitymedia.eu/events/finding-and-funding-voices/Finding_and_Funding_Voices-Report.pdf The whole issue of Information, Society and Justice (Volume 2.1, December 2008) on 'World Cities and their media and information networks', edited by Shehina Fazal and Ali Memon, can be accessed free of charge from the journal's website at http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/londonmet/library/s67861_3.pdf Best Wishes, Salvo -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salvatore Scifo Editor, communitymedia.eu www.communitymedia.eu connecting community media research>teaching>policy>practice in Europe
