Community Publishing

Community publishing is a collaborative process where local residents and groups work together to create, share, and distribute content—such as newsletters, magazines, or online platforms—that reflects their interests, culture, and needs. It emphasizes collective effort, local engagement, and shared ownership, often using accessible technologies or open formats. This approach empowers communities to tell their stories, access relevant information, and foster a sense of ownership and identity. Rather than relying solely on commercial or centralized publishers, community publishing harnesses local talent and resources to produce meaningful, community-centered content.
