This study of alternative and activist media provides an
introduction to alternative media theories, audiences and
practices. It brings diverse voices and concepts from outside the
commercial media world to the fore, enriching and challenging mass
media. Illustrated with historical and current examples, from both
a UK and international perspective, it also includes carefully
constructed exercises and discussion topics based on case studies
and available texts.
Topics include the place of alternative media in a mass-media
world; a history of alternative and activist media; media
participation and consumption by marginalised audiences; the use of
pirate and community radio, video and television by community and
minority groups; fanzines and other small publishing ventures by
individuals; the use of alternative media for explorations in
design; the blurring of boundaries between alternative and mass
media; and new technology and its possibilities for alternative
media.
