Preferred term

media infrastructure policy and media activism  

Definition

  • To many, even media activists, policy making about communication infrastructure resources might seem both bewildering and elusive: bewildering because of its sheer breadth, interrelated-ness, and complexity, and elusive because it necessarily requires constant responses to technological innovation and change. Yet, social movement actors who depend increasingly on electronic media for their work should be as concerned about how media systems are governed as they are about producing social movement media.
