Definition of Community Media
Community media are media created by individuals to tell the stories and have the conversations necessary for their own self-directed development as citizens. Fundamentally, community media come out of the community rather than commercial interests and are focused on the transmission of ideas and services, not the selling of products or entertainment. Simply put, community media are newsgathering and information-sharing conducted of, by, and for a specific group of people bound together, geographically or otherwise.
