To address the challenges, which include incorporating new online platforms, using alternative energy, and making a profit, international media development organization Internews Network recently launched a Community Media Sustainability Guide. The guide, the "Community Media Sustainability Guide: The Business of Changing Lives," is designed for community media practitioners and activists, trainers, and the donors and development agencies that support them. It provides different perspectives on sustainability, practical approaches to achieving it, and a comprehensive list of resources for both practitioners and activists.
