Many White Papers are also available in the “Rethinking Access Philosophy” issue of the Community Media Review (Summer 2002). AREAS OF FOCUS Submissions are invited pertaining to any area of

or governmental access/community media/alternative media, democratization
of the media, self-reflexive analysis of basic access tenets, access
and activism, international community media, etc. Of
special interest are submissions that focus on global issues surrounding
community-based, alternative media
(e.g., the World Summit on the Information Society and the role of
civil society in national and global movements toward the democratization
of communication), or compare the tenets and traditions of US community
media with alternative media in other parts of the world. However,
other works dealing with access or media democracy in general are also
appreciated. CRITERIA Papers and essays submitted for the White Paper session will be evaluated according to their importance to the practice and philosophy of community-based media; contribution to the knowledge base of community media; interest to an audience of access practitioners, academics, activists, and other involved groups; conceptualization; and the clarity of presentation.
