媒體批判與弱勢發聲是分進合擊的媒體改革路徑，前者是針對強勢群體的意識形態控制；但回到弱勢群體，則要強調爭取表達權，其共同的目標在於尋求媒體與社會群體的多樣與自主面貌。因此，思考媒體多樣性與社會正義的問題，便不能忽略如何促成弱勢自主發聲，重返公共領域的重要面向。而另類媒體與文化行動並非只是單純的發聲的形式與管道，也非只是弱勢者展現自我的取徑；相反的，是要透過另類的媒介與文化形式，展現社會群體的不同生命經驗與生活面貌，尋求更平等的社會生活與溝通。也因此，另類媒體與文化行動的相關研究與實踐，不能僅限於「媒介」的範疇，以及文化行動展現的方式。必須進一步置於社會權力與文化鬥爭的脈絡中思考，探究其結構性的力量如何限制文化多元的展現，以及能動的主體如何透過種種媒體與文化抗爭形式，爭取發聲、告別污名與自我培力，並進行社會溝通，以豐富相關研究的深度與視野。

Media criticism and giving voice to minorities are two concerted approaches to media reform; while the former aims at ideological control of the majority, the latter emphasizes the struggle for the right of expression, and their common goal is to seek for the diverse and automatic aspects of media and society. Thus, media diversity and social justice, should not neglect how to help minorities to gain voice for themselves and return to the public sphere. Alternative media and cultural action do not merely concern patterns and channels of expressing, nor just how minority groups present themselves. On the contrary, they present different life experiences and circumstances and pursue more equal social status. And thus, research and practices involved in alternative media and cultural action should not be confined to the “media” realm and its patterns of action. They should be further placed in the context of social rights and cultural, exploring how structural power limits their presentation and how fight against stigma and seek self-empowerment through different kinds of media and cultural action. In that way, related research may be improved in depth and vision.
