Mainstream media are becoming increasingly unreliable as a source of news stories needed to keep people informed of the important events happening around the world, as they offer what sells best, not what informs most. For those who demand reliable information, this resource guide provides the most extensive listing of independent, progressive and activist media currently available, filled with information on contacts, subscriptions and Internet access to the uncharted world of independent media, activism and investigative news.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The independent media are arguably more important than ever today, as corporate media's line reads increasingly like a government press release rather than a free society's analysis of the day's important events. But there's a lot to sort through- Independent newsmagazines and newspapers, local cable-TV access, and independent and microtransmitted radio are everywhere, offering a vast array of news, opinions, and information. New Indymedia activists alone now have direct links to more than sixty-five grassroots news sites around the world. The challenge we are faced with is two-fold- We must make these news sources widely accessible, but we must also find ways to compile, sort, and collectively release this real news to millions of people-a project that this invaluable guide for diversifying your access to information can make much more achievable. A guide to alternative sources for news by the authors of the acclaimed Censored series, this book lists hundreds of independent, progressive, and activist media outlets, complete with subscription information, website addresses, noted contributors, and brief descriptions of each. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781583224687
