"Community media" are non-profit, open to or accountable to the community that they serve and mainly staffed by volunteers. As such, they form a separate sub-group within the media sector. The purpose of this study is to outline how Community Media are organised across the EU and to underline their distinctive contribution to media pluralism and other socio-political objectives.

Community Media (CM) constitute a dynamic and highly diverse part of the European Union’s media landscape. Yet, little information is available regarding the sector’s scope, its potential and on the status of CM organisations in different Member States. The purpose of this report is to investigate the state of CM in the EU and to examine the factors that influence their development. Particular attention has been focussed on examining how CM activity meets EU policy objectives. Furthermore, an assessment of the sector’s involvement at EU level is expected to inform future policy choices regarding CM.
