Columbian US-based media and communication scholar recognized for her role in establishing and promoting the field of alternative media studies in English language media studies, notably through her work on 'citizens' media,' a term she coined in her 2001 book Fissures in the Mediascape and through co-founding and facilitating OURMedia/NUESTROSMedios, a global network of researchers and practitioners of alternative media, community media and citizens' media, currently the biggest network of its kind with over 500 members in over 40 countries.^[1]

Dr. Rodriguez has conducted research since 1984 on citizens’ media in different international contexts including Nicaragua, Colombia, Spain, Chile, and among Latino communities in the United States. In 2001, she initiated OURMedia/NUESTROSMedios with Nick Couldry and John Downing and until 2003 was a key organizer of its yearly conferences. She is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Oklahoma, USA. ^[2]
