[Air-L] 3CMedia: Making Links

[Marcus Foth]

3CMedia: Journal of Community, Citizen's and Third Sector Media and  
Communication

The Making Links 2007 Special Issue is now available online at: http://www.cbonline.org.au/3cmedia/3c_issue4/
This issue of 3CMedia continues a dialogue about the raison d’être for  
community organisations (including community media organisations) in  
times of participatory culture, media convergence and Web 2.0. Do the  
affordances of these socio-cultural and technical trends render the  
third sector less significant or even obsolete as some commentators  
speculate?

This issue of 3CMedia has been edited by Marcus Foth and brings  
together research papers that explore new opportunities opened up to  
community sector organisations by emerging technologies. It features  
articles based on papers presented at the 2007 Making Links conference  
held at the NSW Teachers Federation Conference Centre in Sydney in  
October, 2007. Originating in community health networks, the Making  
Links conference series now targets the whole community and non-profit  
sector. The fifth Making Links conference will take place this year at  
The University of Melbourne from 11th to 13th November, with  
conference themes of community, responsibility and sustainability (see http://www.makinglinks.org.au/) 
.

The Making Links issue of 3CMedia includes papers by Atari Metcalf,  
Christine Satchell, Ali Asghar Kia, Danny Butt, Edwina Luck and  
Elizabeth Buchanan. For full abstracts see: http://www.cbonline.org.au/3cmedia/3c_issue4/

3CMedia: Journal of Community, Citizen's and Third Sector Media and  
Communication is a free, scholarly e-journal and is published by the  
Community Broadcasting Association of Australia. See: http://www.cbonline.org.au/3cmedia/
