In the national strike of June 2022 in Ecuador, the media was the scene of confrontational discourses regarding the mobilization. The community media, unlike the private media, allied themselves with the demonstrators' positions. This theoretical-analytical reflection addresses two particularities that were evidenced in the practices of community media, the media-space relationship and the configuration of discourses, in order to evaluate the power of these media to sustain different and more responsible communication proposals, especially in contexts of high social conflict.

The current work analyses the conditions of media production made by and/or for the Latin American immigrants in Germany (radio and TV programs, press and digital publications and virtual communities). Qualitative interviews were conducted with immigrant media makers from different German cities. The term "ethnic media" is criticized and it is argued in favour of using the concept "diasporic media". Moreover the importance and role of these media in order to construct an "ethnic public sphere" and its articulation within the public sphere of the German mainstream media are also discussed.
