[edit] Links

I suspect that at some point we will need to break off the list of links and spawn:

• Alternative media (U.S. political left)
• Alternative media (U.S. political right)
• Alternative media (British political left)
• Alternative media (British political right)

etc., etc. Does anyone have a better idea of what to do? We already have

• Alternative press (U.S. political left)
• Alternative press (U.S. political right)

and they seem to be working OK, but do we need to stop and think of the Wiki policy issues for these types of pages?--Cberlet 13:57, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'd like to look into this, too. I dont' think "alternative press" works, since much of the *conservative* alternative media is online and on the radio. Mitchberg 15:51, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

See above: there is "media" and "press" suggested as categories. Press is for print, such as Human Events.

[edit] Improving this page

I have removed the cleanup tag, but more work can be done to improve this page.--Cberlet 17:50, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

how about reference to alternative media research, and introducing books and research on the subject (either in the text or in a further readings list)? Bine maya 08:42, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What about Wikinews?

How could you forget the house own alternative media ? --Sean Heron 18:57, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ehem....

To the 'CrackHeads' who think they are funny, I just want to let you all know that you are nothing more than dispicable little gang-banga wannabes who probably could not even survive out in the streets (and I lived there), and let Jack Blood know that he and Ted Anderson's careers are all OVER because nobody thinks of that stuff as entertaining, let alone informative or ethical. 68.32.201.254 IdeArchon 06:08, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quotation

I have just cited two quotations from Mike Gunderloy concerning the alternative press (vs. the underground press, or zines). In the interest of full disclosure, the URL in the citation is my own website. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually, now that I've looked I think it is probably better suited for alternative press. I'm moving it there. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:55, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Counter hegemony

I removed this bit:

Counter hegemony

For a medium to be considered "alternative", it must possess some kind of counter-hegemonic quality. The counter-hegemony should be represented through at least one of the following parameters:{{fact}}

• Content – what is being "said"
• Aesthetical form – the way it is being said
• Intention – the point of success
• Organizational structure – how the media are being run
• Process - the relationship between production and consumption of information

I could find no citation supporting these... however, even if they were to be found, this set of criteria would probably need to be given less focus. Plenty of outlets out there that are both alternative/independent but certainly not counter-hegemonic. Any thoughts? Xavexgoem (talk) 07:55, 16 September 2008 (UTC) Actually, a citation on that would be immensely useful for historical purposes
