Radical political activist movements are growing all the time. To
reach a wider audience each organisation has formed networks and
websites, exploiting new communications technologies as well as
conventional media to get its message across. This is often very
successful: activist politics have come to influence 'mainstream'
politics over fundamental issues such as trade, gender relations,
the environment and war. This book brings together activists and
academics in one volume, to explore the theory and practice of
global activism's relation to all forms of media, mainstream and
otherwise. press and explain the strategies that activists adopt to
spread their own ideas. Investigating Indymedia and internet
activism, they show how transformations in communications
technology offer new possibilities, and explain how activists have
successfully used and developed their own media. Case studies and
topics include the world social forums, an example of a campaign
from the NGO Action Aid, a campaign strategy from an internet
activist, Greenpeace and the Brent Spar conflict, the World
Development Movement and representations in the mainstream press,
the Independent Media Centre, transgender activism on the net,
Amnesty International, Oxfam and the internet.
