Activists and academics have much to teach each other about the theory and practice of democratic communication. While critical scholarship offers normative philosophical definitions of the role of media in a democracy and systematic critiques of existing media institutions and practices, activism engages in direct and strategic interventions within the media and communication. The relationship between these two endeavors is symbiotic. Activism draws on theory to inform its actions, while critical scholarship asks questions intended to redefine what is conceivable in the realm of action. Often, the same scholars and activists wear two hats as they traverse the terrain between theory and practice. Despite the different types of projects they undertake and the different audiences they address, both are players on the broad field of media activism
