Ethnic media as communities of practice: The cultural and institutional identities

Abstract: In an increasingly multicultural, multiethnic, and multilingual media environment, ethnic media are an important part of the public sphere, and the process in which ethnic discourse is produced deserves attention. This article advances Husband’s work on ethnic media as communities of practice by exploring ethnic media of young diaspora. Just as ethnic communities are heterogeneous across ethnic groups, depending on immigration history, demographics, and communication infrastructure, among other factors, ethnic… Show more

“…Scholars have also noted the challenges and opportunities facing ethnic media in a digital age (Yu & Matsagnis, 2019). These shifts underlie a need to conceptualize news learning models within the shifting landscape of ethnic media as well as to account for deepening understanding of the audience (Yu, 2017) and news learning in digital contexts (Oeldorf-Hirsch, 2018).…”

“…Although this is the primary function of any newspaper, specialized newspapers have become particularly valuable channels of communication for underserved populations-populations that might not have regular access to mainstream media, or whose first language might differ from that used in a mainstream source (Viswanath & Lee, 2007). Underserved populations may benefit from news sources that cater to their specific needs, whether through culturally relevant content, a familiar language, or by providing a platform to communicate concerns of the population to society as a whole (Walter et al, 2019;Yu, 2017;Yu, 2018a;Yu & Matsaganis, 2019). For instance, Spanish-language newspapers provide useful information to recent immigrants and those who are not proficient in English, while at the same time offering news from a culturally congruent perspective.…”

“…At its core, the communities of practice framework illuminates how “knowledge and learning are intertwined” and occur organically within groups (Weiss and Domingo, 2010: 1157). It has been applied to subcommunities of journalism including sports journalism (Hutchins and Boyle, 2017), mobile journalism (Salzman et al, 2020), political journalism (Usher and Ng, 2020), and ethnic media (Husband, 2006; Matsanganis and Katz, 2014; Yu, 2016), often in tandem with other theory (Eldridge II and Steel, 2016). Weiss and Domingo (2010) combined communities of practice with actor-network theory, for example, to study innovation in online newsrooms and consider “how a group communicates, learns, participates, and transforms at the same time as their practice evolves” (2010: 1157).…”

“…Global migrants have not only relied on media sources across borders but have also developed their own community media. Diasporic media have also been studied in large multiethnic societies, mainly in the Western world (Georgiou 2005;Matsaganis et al 2010;Yu 2017). Like media from their country of origin, diasporic media often help migrants maintain ethnic identities (Yin 2015); play important roles in forming communities in new home countries (Shi 2005); and provide important information to migrants about how to make a living in a host society (Garapich 2008).…”
