This article introduces the topics featured in the July 2004 issue of "Feminist Media Studies." The issue begins with two articles that in very different ways examine how the media have been used, firstly in sub-Saharan Africa and secondly in Palestine, in order to promote progressive-feminist political agenda. Both papers argue for the importance of small-scale, alternative to the mainstream, grassroots media as being best suited to ensuring that their messages reach particular audiences.
