Description
* What are alternative media?
* What roles do alternative media play in pluralistic,
democratic societies?
* What are the similarities and differences between alternative
media, community media, civil society media and rhizomatic media?
* How do alternative media work in practice?
This clear and concise text offers a one-stop guide through the
complex political, social and economic debates that surround
alternative media and provides a fresh and insightful look at the
renewed importance of this form of communication.
Combing diverse case studies from countries including the UK, North
America and Brazil, the authors propose an original theoretical
framework to help understand the subject. Looking at both `old? and
`new? media, the book argues for the importance of an alternative
media and suggests a political agenda as a way of broadening its scope.
Understanding Alternative Media is valuable reading for students in
media, journalism and communications studies, researchers, academics,
and journalists.
