<![CDATA[Background: Community Media Utilization for Strengthening Local Cultural Identity and Social Cohesion addresses a recurring challenge in community-facing organizations: communication activity can expand without producing meaningful participation or durable public value. Aims: This article develops a conceptual framework explaining how community media can support cultural identity, social cohesion, and intergenerational learning. Review Method: An integrative conceptual review connects communication, participation, stakeholder, institutional, and organizational-learning literature. No primary survey, interview, experimental, or administrative data are claimed. Results and Conclusion: The synthesis identifies three linked mechanisms - local ownership, vernacular content, and reciprocal production - operating under conditions of accountable governance, adequate capability, and inclusive access. Benefits may weaken when gatekeeping, homogenization, and resource fragility. Contribution: The article offers diagnostic questions, propositions for empirical testing, and an implementation pathway for community organizations.]]>
