Civilmedia11: Community Media for Social Change
UnConference in Salzburg, April 14 - 16, 2011

*Civilmedia11: Community Media for Social Change: High Impact - Low
Threshold*
The effect of Community Media to social action and political climate is
the focus of the 5th UnConference "Civilmedia 11?, taking place in
Salzburg from April 14th to 16th, 2011.
Community Media have invented "User-Generated Media" decades ago. In
contrast to the contemporary trend in commercial media to outsource
production of content to "non-professionals" for economic reasons, they
also give producers direct responsability in selection, creation and
form of their production.
Additionally, Community Media give power to the people in their
organizational structures -- unthinkable in common economy. It is this
synthesis which creates real participation and empowerment and does not
degenerate these principles to lip service.
The unique position of Community Media needs to be defended regularly,
and has to be adapted to the changing media landscape continually.
Especially within a public discourse that connects the right to public
funding with the demonstration of benefits to society.
The focus of the 2011 meeting is "practices": "DIY -- Do it Yourself"
production, distributed through channels in the internet and on air
using modern networked tools. The discourse of quality. Alternative ways
of financing and effective advertisement of contents in the local
populations. The review of the "Public Value" concept, which originally
describes the benefits of public service broadcasting, in the frame of
Community Media.
Gain "high impact" with a "low threshold": the title of "Civilmedia11?
captures the uniqueness of a vital and growing scene.
Welcome to the largest international conference for Community Media in
Central Europe.
