Abstract

Sciendo provides publishing services and solutions to academic and professional organizations and individual authors. We publish journals, books, conference proceedings and a variety of other publications.

Highlights

Queensland University of Technology, Australia. This issue of Cultural Science emerges largely from research undertaken through the Australian Research Council Linkage project, Community Uses of Co-Creative Media
The project has sought to better understand how community arts and media networks – incorporating cultural development, heritage, arts, activist, broadcasting and Indigenous media sectors – can increase the capacity of communities to engage in participatory media culture
The issue explores questions such as: How does the rise of digital media and video produced within community arts, cultural development and social justice contexts impact existing community broadcasters and Indigenous media organisations? What are we to make of public-service broadcasters and even commercial broadcasters moving into the space of community-driven participatory media? And, how might we share ideas, skills, information and infrastructure - that is ‘co-create’ useful networks and knowledge?
