grassroots media activism

Grassroots media activism involves communities creating and sharing their own media content—such as videos, social media posts, newsletters, or podcasts—to raise awareness, advocate for change, or highlight issues affecting them. It empowers ordinary people to voice their perspectives outside traditional media channels, often addressing social, political, or environmental concerns. By leveraging accessible tools and online platforms, grassroots media activism fosters community engagement, amplifies marginalized voices, and encourages collective action, making the power of media more inclusive and representative of diverse experiences.
