Abstract

Rob Cover examines ethnic minority (migrant) community media production in South Australia. Drawing on interviews with publishers and editors of print publications and hosts and producers of community radio, the chapter interrogates the role of migrant community media from the perspective of what is referred to as ‘networked mobility’ – the increasing transnationalisation of the ongoing experience of being a migrant to Australia, in which mobility of information and flows of news, entertainment and popular culture occurs across a networked diaspora. The chapter explores the ways that producers, editors and hosts envisage the benefits of transnational mobility and employ models of networked mobility for the future of ethnic minority media.
