Hi all,
there are currently a few opportunities at Cardiff University for  
people who wish to do an MA or Postdoc in topics that relate to  
community, alternative, citizen, activist etc. media. The Cardiff  
School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies (JOMEC) has a strong  
interest in these areas. Students can get involved with, for example,  
the JOMEC Research Group Digital Media and Society and the Centre for  
Community Journalism. I copy below a couple of links and  
announcements, in case anyone is interested.
Best,
Arne
