"'Listening in' analyses political voice and political listening against the backdrop of the media diversity debates. We focus on community media in Australia with its’ stated commitments to media diversity and to amplifying voices that are rarely heard in the mainstream. We ask to what extent the political voice enabled by community and alternative media is heard by decision-makers and opinion leaders in key democratic institutions of government and media."
