Participatory communication for social change

Abstract

The motivation behind the publication of this book lies in the observation by Jan Servaes that, despite the widespread interest in the subject, the issue of participatory communication and its related research has a relatively low profile.It is further suggested that although many authors have dealt with the issue, they have not enjoyed the publicity they deserve, thus limiting the availability of contemporary input concerning the subject.The authors hope that as the publication is being handled by a major publishing house; Participatory Communication for Social Change is well placed to overcome some of these problems.
