Abstract: Self-organized, civil society-based media have emerged around the globe. Described by some as the 'third' media sector (non- commercial and non-state) and by others as radical, autonomous or citizens media, they encompass community radio, alternative publications, online news services, and many other forms of 'old' and 'new' media. Even though their practices emerge outside the state/ business realm, their development is heavily affected by policy and regulation.
What, then, are their policy needs? What is their policy environment? And in which ways have practitioners organized to influence policy? Arne Hintz will point to both enabling and obstructive policy examples, discuss a policy agenda for the sector, and examine the strategies and practices of policy advocacy by media activists. He will thus uncover relations, connects and disconnects between grassroots media and global governance.
