About

A Decade of Community Media  

​

Over the past ten years, these initiatives have collectively: 

• Supported 30+ indigenous journalists, fellows, and media practitioners  

• Engaged 7+ indigenous communities across 8 regions  

• Built multi-platform media ecosystems spanning print, radio, film, and digital networks  

​

More importantly, they have contributed to: 

• Knowledge sovereignty and self-representation  

• Strengthening of local languages and cultural practices  

• Community-led responses to ecological and social change  

​

Community media in the Nilgiris is not just about communication. It is about who speaks, who is heard, and how knowledge travels within and beyond communities.
