Abstract
Anne-Marie Brunelle and Michel Sénécal analyse how Quebec’s community and independent media use surprisingly only rarely crowdfunding, although “participation” is a fundamental part of their definition and history. To understand this apparent paradox, it is necessary to have another look at the way in which the financing of these media is structured, and at the way in which they use the four main categories of resources identified by the authors: public, private, autonomous and participatory financing. It then appears that crowdfunding is only one type of financing among others. And if it has not had the same success in Quebec as in other countries, it is because other methods of financing, which can also be described as participatory, have already existed for a long time and can only be replaced by crowdfunding if it brings a real advantage in a given context.
