The CBAA has signed on for #GivingTuesday, a global movement to encourage, recognise and celebrate the act of giving between people and by philanthropic and non-profit organisations.

Our community broadcasting sector, numbering about 20,000-plus volunteers, gives time and skills every day of the year, and on behalf of your 5.2 million weekly listeners, we thank you.

Community broadcasting gives all Australians free and open access to a more diverse range of news, views, information and entertainment than that of other media.

Our sector also gives communities locally produced and relevant content and allows people to participate in creating and chronicling culture, whether that culture is based on interest in and appreciation of music, language, social issues, ability, faith, or gender identity.

Jump over to givingtuesday.org.au and share what your community station gives people.

Queer Theory, Media Studies, and Editorial Processes in Queer Student Media

Abstract
Australian queer (GLBTIQ) university student activist media is an important site of self-representation. Community media is a significant site for the development of queer identity, community and a key part of queer politics. This paper reviews my research into queer student media, which is grounded in a queer theoretical perspective. Rob Cover argues that queer theoretical approaches that study media products fail to consider the material contexts that contribute to their construction. I use an ethnographic approach to examine how editors construct queer identity and community in queer student media. My research contributes to queer media scholarship by addressing the gap that Cover identifies, and to the rich scholarship on negotiations of queer community.
