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.
