If we consider community media, it is often viewed as a tool for development. In this context, the use of mobile phones as a powerful medium for community participation and development can significantly enhance engagement within community media. By leveraging mobile technology, community participation in media can be strengthened, fostering greater inclusivity and developmental impact. This research paper explores how mobile phone-based applications for social media platforms facilitate the transformation of community media participation from passive engagement to active involvement. The study is grounded in participatory media and development communication theories, emphasizing the role of digital tools in enhancing community participation and fostering meaningful engagement.
