Media Komunitas dan Media Literacy
Abstract: This essay deals
with community media in relation to media literacy. After a short discussion on
a number of community media characters is made the essay goes further with
somewhat detail theoretical presumptions of the roles of media community with
respect primarily to the development as Amartya Sen mentioned about. The author
suggests that community media may play some significant roles in the
development including (a) disseminating information (from varieties of
perspective), (b) facilitating public discussion, (c) helping to reach
solutions of problems, (d) encouraging participations, and (e) encouraging the
development of media literacy. Regarding the last point the author remarks that
media community may have a dual-roles i.e facilitating community’s member in
media participation and facilitating community’s member in media education.
