Addressing Health Inequalities through Community Media : The Transformative Power of Voice and Agency

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.
