The Media and

Information
Sources

Welcome! Today we'll explore the


diverse sources of information in our
world. We'll analyze how traditional
media like newspapers, libraries, and
the internet provide information, and
the growing role of indigenous and
community media.
The Media as Information
Source
Media organizations have traditionally
served as gatekeepers, curating and
disseminating information to the public.

Information is shared in various


formats, including print, broadcast,
digital, and social media, catering to
different preferences and needs.
Indigenous Media
Indigenous media
encompasses diverse forms,
such as storytelling, music,
dance, and visual arts, vital
for preserving cultural
traditions and knowledge.

Indigenous media platforms


offer opportunities for
Indigenous communities to
share their perspectives and
experiences, countering
dominant narratives.
The Community Media
and the Indigenous People
Community media prioritizes
local issues and concerns,
empowering residents to share
their voices and engage in
public discourse.

Community media often


bridges gaps in traditional
media coverage, providing
access to information and
resources for underserved
populations.
Examples of Indigenous Media:
Ethnographic Films and
Aboriginal Media
Ethnographic Films
Ethnographic films, often produced by
anthropologists or researchers,
document and analyze Indigenous
cultures, providing insights into their
traditions and practices.
Aboriginal Media
Aboriginal media, produced by Indigenous
filmmakers and storytellers, offer a more
authentic and empowering perspective on
Indigenous experiences, reflecting their
cultural values and voices.
