Should everything be community media?

SHOULD EVERYTHING BE COMMUNITY MEDIA? A REVIEW OF "WHAT'S GOING ON IN COMMUNITY MEDIA?"
[SOURCE: Lasar's Letter on the FCC, AUTHOR: Matthew Lasar]
[Commentary] In a media environment increasingly segmented by ideology, class, or ethnicity, "is there an electronic place where people can convene as citizens? Can the new media create a public square where people can be heard, and hear each other?" Yes, concludes the Benton Foundation's lively and informative new study What's Going on In Community Media?: "Communities across the country are taking control of media, adapting new technologies to the social, economic, educational, cultural, and information needs of their residents." But while the scan strives for a concise definition of "community media," I think that it overuses the concept to map out the non-corporate media landscape, extending the term to projects and institutions struggling to be something else.
