“…However, a rhizomatic approach-as developed by Carpentier, et al (2003) in terms of community media, thereby referring to Deleuze and Guattari's metaphor of the rhizome-is helpful in this regard. The rhizome 'connects any point to any point' (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987: 19) and is conceptualised as a dynamic, non-linear, nomadic, anarchistic and thus non-hierarchical network.…”

“…A rhizomatic approach to media activism, as developed by Carpentier et al (2003) in terms of community media, proves to be an adequate model to also frame the notion jamming, both in its corporate as well as more overtly political focus. It allows us to see the jam as nomadic moving from autonomous public spheres to counterpublic spheres to the mainstream public sphere, thereby disturbing or deterritorialising, as Deleuze & Guatarri would say, the status quo.…”

This document is the author's final manuscript accepted version of the journal article, incorporating any revisions agreed during the peer review process. Some differences between this version and the published version may remain. You are advised to consult the publisher's version if you wish to cite from it. While the notion of cultural jamming has been around for several years little or no attention has gone to the appropriation of cultural jamming techniques by political actors in their political communication practices. These 'political' jams are not directed at the corporate world as such, like the cultural jam, but towards society at large or governments, towards changing values or behaviours and even at times against minorities or common enemies. The actors involved are not only radical or grassroots activists, but also professional civil society organisations, political parties and even at times government sponsored agencies. This already indicates that the political jam cannot be coined as a counter-hegemonic practice per se, as is the case with cultural jamming. Reactionary groups and mainstream political parties, as well as corporate actors are increasingly adopting these techniques. This article will address the historical cultural legacy on which cultural and political jamming builds. It will also critically assess the role of the Internet as a distributive means for political jams and its consequences for the notion of the public sphere.

“…With regards to its position towards regulation, it has also been defined as 'illegal' or 'pirate' and, finally, with regards to particular social groups, 'student', 'university', 'campus', 'hospital', 'diasporic' or 'ethnic' radio. (see AMARC, online, 2008;Carpentier et al, 2003,Girard, 1992Jankowski with Prehn, 2002;Lewis&Booth, 1989) Is this just a matter of language? Not necessarily.…”

In the last three decades the emergence and development of Community Media across Europe has been mainly characterised by the political and social contexts at the national levels and, consequently, the sector is shaped by a range of opportunities and challenges that depend on the status of current policy, legislation and funding regimes in each country. Where at the pan-European level the Council of Europe has been supporting Community Media as a means for pluralism and diversity in the media, as well as a tool to promote social cohesion, in the European Union audiovisual and media policy community media have been largely overlooked. In 2008 the Culture and Education Committee of the European Parliament promoted a report to support Community Media in the Union, signalling a new development that aims to influence media policy discussion in the member states. This article aims to trace the contours of community media's route across European media policies to assess how its practice has been shaped so far and discuss the emerging issues that are likely to influence its near future.1 This article is partly based on an update of

“…Moreover, 'community' has been limited to the definition of geographically situated audiences (Carpentier et al, 2003;Jankowski, 2003) and in prioritizing the communicative needs of local communities over regional, national and transnational systems. There is obviously space for overlaps, and a clear separation between these two categories, place and interest, is at times impossible.…”
