Listening in: improving recognition of community media to support democratic participation and wellbeing

澳大利亚的新媒体形式和社区媒体部门为不同的社区提供了越来越多的机会来发表意见、分享故事和寻找声音。这个项目分析了在这个不断变化的媒体环境中支持潜在的声音所必需的政治倾听实践。该项目旨在通过询问社区媒体在主要主流机构中被听到的程度，为社区福祉做出贡献。案例研究考察了政策制定者和记者收听土著、穆斯林和苏丹裔澳大利亚人制作的媒体的方式。

New media forms and the community media sector in Australia provide increasing opportunities for diverse communities to speak up, share stories and find a voice. This project analyses the political listening practices necessary to support the potential for voice in this changing media environment. The project aims to contribute to community wellbeing by asking to what extent community media is heard in key mainstream institutions. Case studies examine the ways in which policymakers and journalists listen in to media produced by Indigenous, Muslim and Sudanese Australians.
