The chapter examines the relationship between community media and social cohesion, summarises various definitions of “third sector media” and outlines the discussion on the positive and negative aspects of the role of this kind of media in society. It is an edited, shortened and updated version of a report commissioned from Lewis by the Council of Europe’s Group of Specialists on Media Diversity (MC-S-MD) and completed in 2008, and ends with a summary of the actions taken by the Council of Europe and the European Parliament since the report was published.
