最近关于公民媒体的评论大多集中在网络平台上，通过这些平台，公民可以传播自己制作的挑战主导话语或使隐藏的现实显而易见的媒体内容。本章超越了对媒体内容的关注，探索了围绕公民媒体发展的更广泛的社会情境实践。借鉴库尔德里关于媒体研究实践范式的建议，它建议将重点从“公民媒体”转移到“公民媒体实践”，并通过世界社会论坛传播激进主义的案例研究，展示了这一框架如何使人们能够看到广泛的公民媒体实践(除了那些与媒体内容的生产和流通直接相关的实践之外)、这些实践所可能产生的不同形式的代理，以及它们可以帮助产生的社会结构。最后，我认为，实践框架需要重新思考(反)公众概念在公民媒体背景下的使用方式。这里描述的公民媒体做法不仅可以理解为将以前未报道的问题和观点“公之于众”的做法，而且可以理解为公开的做法：支持公众形成的做法。
Much recent commentary on citizen media has focused on online platforms as means through which citizens may disseminate self-produced media content that challenges dominant discourses or makes visible hidden realities. This chapter goes beyond a concern with media content to explore the much broader range of socially situated practices that develop around citizen media. Drawing on Couldry’s proposal for a practice paradigm in media research, it suggests shifting the focus from ‘citizen media’ to ‘citizen media practices’ and demonstrates, through a case study of communication activism in the World Social Forum, how this framework can bring into view a broad range of citizen media practices (beyond those directly concerned with the production and circulation of media content), the different forms of agency that such practices make possible, and the social fabric they can help generate. I conclude by arguing that a practice framework necessitates a rethink of the way that the concept of (counter-) publics is used in the context of citizen media. Citizen media practices of the kind described here can be understood not only as practices of ‘making public’ previously unreported issues and perspectives, but as practices of public¬-making: practices that support the formation of publics.
