"A provocative, inspiring and challenging intervention in both
journalism and media studies.... Alternative Journalism is that
rare book that services students as much as scholars. It widens the
trajectory of media studies and creates different modes of reading,
writing and thinking... It offers an alternative history beyond the
tales of great men, great newspapers, great editors and great
technologies. It adds value and content to overused and ambiguous
words such as "community" and "citizenship" and captures the spark
of new information environments." - THE, (Times Higher Education)
Alternative Journalism investigates and analyses the diverse forms
and genres of journalism that have arisen as challenges to
mainstream news coverage. From the radical content of emancipatory
media to the dizzying range of citizen journalist blogs and fanzine
subcultures, this book charts the historical and cultural practices
of this diverse and globalized phenomenon. This exploration goes to
the heart of journalism itself, prompting a critical inquiry into
the epistemology of news, the professional norms of objectivity,
the elite basis of journalism and the hierarchical commerce of news
production. In investigating the challenges to media power
presented by alternative journalism, Atton addresses not just the
issues of politics and empowerment but also the journalism of
popular culture and the everyday. The result is essential reading
for students of journalism - both mainstream and alternative.
