The Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication at the
Annenberg School for Communication is proud to present CARGC Paper 7,
“Thoughts on a Critical Theory of Rural Communication,” by
Christopher Ali, the inaugural external faculty Fellow at CARGC in
2017.
 
In this paper, Ali draws on critical scholarship in media and
communication studies, political economy, critical geography,
phenomenology, and mobility studies to point the way forward for a
critical theory of rural communication, arguing that understanding the
rural is essential to understanding the dynamics of our globalized and
networked world.
 
In his introduction, CARGC Director and Anthony Shadid Professor of
Communication, Marwan M. Kraidy notes, “the elements of a critical
theory of the rural presented here underscore how complex such a space
is, shaped by market forces, policy initiatives, technological
development, demographic shifts, and community identities.” He
continues, “Passionately argued and thoroughly theorized, ‘Thoughts on A
Critical Theory of Rural Communication’ promises to be a major
contribution to global communication studies.”
 
Dr. Christopher Ali is an Assistant Professor in the Department of
Media Studies at the University of Virginia and was a 2017 Fellow at the
Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication. His research
focuses on communication policy and regulation, localism, local
news/local journalism, and critical theory. His first book, Media
Localism: The Policies of Place (University of Illinois Press, 2017)
addresses the difficulties of defining and regulating local media in the
21st century in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada and the
implications these difficulties have for the long-term viability of
local news.
 
While at CARGC, Ali worked on a new book project, Farm Fresh Spectrum:
Rural Interventions in Communication Policy, which will investigate the
roles of farming communities in shaping communication policy. He is also
a Fellow at the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University
finishing a project on the state of small market newspapers in the
United States called Local News in a Digital World: Small Market
Newspapers in an Era of Digital Disruption.
