Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book explores the efforts of marginalized communities to address the health inequalities that characterize life in many deprived areas of post-industrialized cities in the UK. Spread over six chapters, the book maps the role of small-scale and community-based media in contextualizing a link between people’s experiences and expression to validate marginalized points of view. It takes an ethnographic approach and demonstrates that a multi-agency and faith-based community broadcasting initiative can be an empowering platform for communicative interaction. Dr. Fazal Malik is a distinguished Professor of Media Studies and Pro Vice-Chancellor at Amity University Dubai. With over three decades of international experience in academia, media, and educational leadership, he is a seasoned scholar and journalist. Driven by his passion for amplifying voices and promoting agency in the fight against social exclusion, he established several community-basedradio stations to serve disadvantaged communities in the UK. Prior to his transition to academia, he worked as a Broadcast Journalist for the BBC in the UK. Dr. Malik's unique insights into |
