Abstract
Various research has explored and proffered explanations for the growth of diaspora media. These explanations have varied from increasing immigration to fragmenting audiences for mainstream media and the emergence of community, alternative and participatory media (Deuze, 2006; Georgiou, 2005; Lin and Song, 2006; Rigoni and Saitta, 2012). In any case, it is accepted that diaspora media are different from the mainstream media in form, function and reason of existence (Skjerdal, 2011). They have a ‘complex and changing system of their own, with internal differences in history, ownership, self-identity, production process, distribution pattern, degree of involvement with mainstream media and so on’ (Shi, 2009, p. 613).
