Sommario/riassunto

At present, the picture of the ethnic media is incomplete. There is very little material/research on how the media produced by ethnic communities, for ethnic communities affect (1) the perceptions of self and of the ethnic community & (2) how the production & consumption of ethnic media affects the character of the larger media landscape.
