Academic YU Shi tenders an operational definition for ethnic media: ''Ethnic media are often regarded as media by and for ethnics in a host country with content in ethnic languages.'' Shi also adds, ethnic media ''can be published by big ethnic media groups and by small organic ethnic communities'' , as well.
Practitioner inga buchbinder of new America media adds, ''our organization defines it most as a publication, whether that's news, television, radio, online, print, magazine-- any sort of publication that caters to a specific ethnic community. And it could be in-language... or it could be bilingual that reaches a very specific community.
In addition to news, television, radio, online, print, and magazine outlets that qualify as ethnic media, academic John D.H. Downing adds musical culture and forms of religious expression to the ethnic media mix. Downing finds, ''these may, along with language and dialect, act as a media force somewhere between shock absorption and psychic validation in the often fraught atmosphere between the ethnic majority and ethnic minorities.
