A media awareness movement need not be limited to media "problems" only. Indeed the appropriate use of customized media could be the action/solution to a variety of social or pastoral concerns, e.g.

• A computerized electronic bulletin board can simplify the organization of services for the disabled.
• Audio taped messages can keep the elderly in touch with their lifelong friends.
• A community radio station can provide a voice and contact point for isolated rural farm workers.
