community media isn't defined yet, but these are close:
1. Garforth Community College
“The place where the devil teaches his workings”. This is primarily done my brain washed minions, more commonly known as "Teachers". If a person wishes to loose the will to live and be imprisoned for 25 hours of torture...come to Garforth Community College, where we can educate you by some of the most retarded tutors in the world!!!

Oh and don’t forget guys....REVISE, because you don’t wan to crash and burn
Person A - How I wish I could find the gateway to hell...
Person B - Well sure sunny, step right up and go through the new pointless door way...then choose any direction because it all leads the same place!

Emo A - I wish I could die slowly and painfully
Emo B - I've heard good things about Garforth Community College
2. Fauxcial Media
Contrived, inauthentic or misleading use of social media resources such as online communities, blogs, Twitter profiles, Wikipedia entries, Facebook pages, etc. to manipulate or to create a false or misleading perception of a company, organization, candidate or cause.

Fauxcial Media is the "Web 2.0" equivalent of atroturfing i.e., the creation of fake grassroots campaigns in PR/Public Relations.
WHAT CONSTITUTES FAUXCIAL MEDIA:

• Businesses pretending to be bloggers.
• Businesses pretending to be journalists.
• Businesses pretending to be “Joe Blow” in order to flog their products in blog comments.

EXAMPLES OF FAUXCIAL MEDIA:

- Cisco's Human Network - wrote all Cisco-related Wikipedia entries; had vloggers try to write about the Human Network. Got themselves to #2 in Google organic search

- Whole Foods CEO John Mackey used an alias to ding detractors on forums

- "Wal-Marting Across America" used a real journalist and real photographer, but set them up as simply Wal-Mart fans, traveling across America, parking their RV at Wal-Mart parking lots.

3. Social Media Lifestyle
Living a Social Media Lifestyle is a way to use Technology and Social websites to empower learning, communication, collaboration, and community.

A Social Media Lifestyle makes your life easier because you can actively monitor conversations related to your niche or business using websites like tweettabs.com, and then jump into the conversation based upon the needs that you see from the parties involved. Gone are the days of not knowing what your customers or contacts think, Social Media connects everyone and all of our thoughts into one expanding consciousness.
Using Tweetdeck on your iPhone to actively scan for news about an earthquake in your city, providing you with valuable real time information before the News websites have it available, is an example of a Social Media Lifestyle choice.
4. media manipulation
The act of fragmenting a unified community into factions, each faction declaring the other is *liberal* or *conservative* which are, in and of themselves, meaningless buzzwords (though have not allways been so) created and distributed by the media itself.

While Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reily or any other "Right of Center" talk show host can claim that the media is biased towards the left, it takes nothing more than the power of observation to realize that AM talk radio, fox news, or any other news outselt making said claims is itself a part of the media.

The same can, of course, be said for the other side, the likes of Michael Moore, and Al Frankin.
Media Manipulation is extrememly evident among the other definitions for Media Manipulation. Especially since the *Media* encompases everyone from the ELF's newsletter to Neo-Nazi magazines.

Most people fail to realize you are only manupulated as much as you let yourself be.

5. Web 2.0
Interactive media theory where an infrastructure focusing on content creation, management, and dissemination is built for the user to generate that content in a community framework.
Urban Dictionary falls under the Web 2.0 theory because they built an infrastructure to create, manage, and disseminate the definition of slang terms generated by the user and ranked by the community.
6. Indymedia
An activist media network which includes websites, small newspapers, radio stations, and some tv programs. Indymedia websites are coordinated and can be found at indymedia.org.

The term is also used in a large sense to mean any media organization which is small, decentralized, not supported by a professional staff of journalists.

Indymedia is often associated with and support of many left wing causes. It's vocal support of palestinians has brought many charges that indymedia is anti-semitic. Most of indymedia's coverage has been around issues related to globalization and the anti-globalization movement.
The protesters setup an indymedia center during the WTO ministerial meeting in Cancun.
7. black man
Your average UK black man will not be out on road shottin' but doin' his job at a desk in an office, pickin' up his son from school, visiting his mother and just the kind of thing everybody and every other race will do in the right social community. In the wrong social community a black male could be dealin' just like a white man or an asian or a latino man could be dealing. US Stereotypes should stop applying here in main-stream media, two different countries, one learned how to move on and accept each others faults... i think i know which one it is. - EIB your 15 year old white male from a poor part of a city that is mixed.
"Today a black man was seen shooting a police officer" your average news report
What wasn't reported was the white man doin' the same thing. Media is the only difference.
