Multimedia and applied ethnomusicology

Most ethnomusicological research is published in silent form. But these days it's increasingly easy to publish in multimedia formats, including audio (CD or web) and video. Often these forms are more powerful ways to convey a message, and to effect social change, especially useful in applied work.
