“…These models emphasize the dissemination of information and media contents that are otherwise unavailable in mass media. In these instances, the involvement of internet users in the creation of content and messages is emphasized as a means for agency, equity, empowerment, and change towards social justice (Cadiz, 2005;Low et al, 2012;Rogers, 2017;Yadlin-Segal, 2019). But, as exemplified in the paragraphs above, there is an inherent contradiction in the process.…”

This essay reviews the place and role of Public Service Media (PSM) in promoting social justice in the changing digital media landscape through the ethos of diversity. Media diversity – the value and practice of including varied viewpoints, social groups, voices, and channels or outlets in media – has long been a declared pillar of PSM organizations worldwide. However, current changes in the digital media landscape and the growing extension of PSM organizations to digital platforms require re-reading the premise of promoting media diversity as a tool for social justice. This essay identifies a paradox. On one hand, online media appear to accommodate a greater range of diverse voices and players, particularly in the PSM ecosystem. At the same time, these very same online spaces jeopardize diversity, as the increasing practices of personalization, algorithmic curation, and platformization often reduce diversity of representations, voices, and exposure to content, thereby hindering opportunities for social justice and equality. This essay shines a spotlight on this nexus of conflicting mechanisms. The essay begins with in-depth definitions of the two somewhat convoluted terms diversity and social justice. This section includes a review of global perspectives on PSM organizations, and the long-standing value of diversity promoted through them for decades. We then review the impact and changes identified in PSM platforms worldwide in light of the digital turn in the media field. This is followed by an in-depth discussion of the inherent tension between mechanisms that promote and hinder diversity online. Throughout this discussion, we raise questions about the practical dimensions of using online media to promote social justice through diversity. It provides a useful starting point for considering the intersection of Public Service Media, online platforms, diversity, and social justice. Thus, the essay will serve academic scholars studying social justice on a conceptual level as well as practitioners and stakeholders in the media industry at large, and PSM in particular, seeking to practically promote social justice.

“…This comparison is based on a review of critical pedagogy following Freire (1970) and a study of various cases of collaborative audiovisual creation. However, in addition to including those authors or specific cases that place Freire's contribution as a fundamental reference in the didactic conception of their initiatives (Zemits, 2014;Rogers, 2017) or of participatory video as a whole (Roberts & Muñiz, 2020), we also include various bibliographical references that look at the development of their collaborative creation practices. Thus, Baumann et al (2020) discusses a project that began with training in cinematography, then preceded to filming, and later, to collective analysis.…”

Audiovisual co-creation has always had a pedagogical nature, which has been maintained in its adaptation to digital communication, although it is applied in different ways. This study analyses the pedagogical proposals in collaborative interactive non-fiction in the digital environment, and compares them with previous projects of participatory practices. As case studies we selected five interactive audiovisual projects that stand out for their educational intent and their preparation of teaching resources, and analyzed their pedagogical proposals. First, we looked at pedagogy in pre-digital or analogical collaborative creation, which was used to develop an original analytical table. We used this table to study the five collaborative projects through three identified categories. The results show that these categories continue in initiatives today, although the findings show a shift in the pedagogy about audiovisuals, particularly concerning the technical aspects, as well as a weakening of the connection between learning and participation in the collective production. Finally, we can highlight that combining educational practices with collaborative production on the Internet is important to increase citizen participation and give a social perspective to this audiovisual modality.

“…Some early videos reflected social norms uncritically (e.g. women’s roles)—common at this stage (Shaw, 2021; Rogers, 2018). Considering participatory visual methods, Rose (2012) emphasises the importance of the makers’ readings of their outputs, and as with the maps and timelines produced, the intention is that videos materials are used to prompt reflective dialogue.…”

Researching Local Subjectivities in Contested Contexts: Using Intersecting Methodologies to Understand Large Green-Energy Projects in Kenya

This article critically reflects on the use of an ‘intersecting methodologies’ approach to generate understanding of the diverse experiences of people living near contested large green energy projects in Kenya. Local subjectivities are essential to understanding the contestations engendered by these projects, especially in areas that are distant from decision-making and global capital. However, researching residents’ experiences in these settings is challenging due to historical divisions and recent conflict triggered by the projects, and the unequal power relations that exist between stakeholders. We discuss the opportunities and challenges of using intersecting methodologies for research in contested settings, which involved weaving together qualitative, ethnographic, community-based participatory research and participatory video. Challenges included the difficulties of supporting peer researchers in remote places to conduct complex research processes from afar, negotiating the legacies of prior research practices and the knowledge economy, and balancing research sense-making with video production expectations. We argue that interlacing methodologies from different epistemological traditions helps to uncover the various ways that differently positioned local stakeholders ‘see’ large-resource-based investments. It also brought learning from the different epistemologies and viewpoints into conversation, and this created productive tensions to transform understanding of conflict and open pathways to more peaceful relations.
