""Community Media, Sustainability and Crisis offers an insightful and timely global perspective on the resilience, creativity, and civic value of grassroots media. The book is an essential resource for understanding how community media respond, adapt, and endure in an increasingly complex world."" --Bridget Backhaus, Griffith University, Australia ""The authors immerse us in a critical traversal of the pandemic crisis, where community media emerge as living practices of solidarity and resilience. They provide us with a pluralistic genealogy of community mediation in times of crisis. An indispensable contribution to thinking about community media as political practice and a living archive of counter-hegemony."" --Tiziano Bonini, University of Siena, Italy ""Andrew Ó Baoill and Salvatore Scifo's new book Community Media, Sustainability, and Crisis: Lessons from COVID and Beyond offers fascinating insights into the multiplicity of ways community media continue to serve their communities in times of crisis. From Ireland to India and from the UK to Youtube, the book describes the resilience and flexibility of people responding to contemporary crises and problems. Based on research at the grassroots level, authors describe how local, geographic and indigenous communities along with communities of interest grapple with issues such as sustainability and the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of different communication channels from traditional radio to digital platforms demonstrate the power and capacity of ordinary people to use whatever means they can to work together to address shared problems and difficulties including threats to emotional, mental and physical wellbeing. This book is a very welcome addition to the growing canon of academic literature on community media and should be on the must read list for academics and community activists alike."" --Rosemary Day, University of Limerick, Ireland ""This timely book explores the sustainability of community media in times of crisis, offering a rich, multidimensional analysis. It addresses economic, political, legal, social, environmental, and technological approaches to sustainability, relying on varied global case studies. It contributes significantly to debates in media studies, journalism, and communication for social change"" --Claudia Magallanes Blanco, Ibero-American University, Mexico
