	Journalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		News-oriented journalism often is described as the "first draft of history." Even though journalists often write news articles to a deadline, news media usually edit and proofread the results prior to publication.
		Journalism has as its main activity the reporting of events -- stating who, what, when, where, why and how, and explaining the significance and effect of events or trends.
		Journalism exists in a number of media: newspapers, television, radio, magazines and, since the end of 20th century, the Internet.

	Journalism in an Age of Mass Media Globalization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		It is precisely the type of journalism that serves the interests of the owners of the global mass media firms because it avoids asking deeper questions about the exercise of power, the dispensation of social justice, and the prospects for cultural survival.
		Journalism of this type does not fulfill the role of journalism in modern participatory democracies in which people participate in jointly deciding the direction and nature of civic life.
		Emancipatory journalism can discuss current conditions in the context of their cultural relevance and historical significance; point out the cultural implications and consequences of change; assess how (and if) people's needs are being met; and propose culturally relevant models for future plans.

	SFBG News \| The Censored debate: Remarks on Project Censored and alternative journalism \| April 24, 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This is especially true regarding international news, which is expensive to gather and which is particularly open to distortion because readers or viewers are generally unable to judge the credibility of reports from their own experience.
		My first close acquaintance with mainstream journalism dates back to the 1950s, when I lived in Europe and observed first hand the various ways in which foreign news was manipulated and distorted by U.S. officials and editors.
		The greatest threat to honest free journalism is the ambition of individuals who use the more open alternative media as a stepping stone to "success", and who are just waiting to slip into the mainstream.

	New Journalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New Journalism was the name given to a style of news writing and journalism by Tom Wolfe who, when having trouble writing an assignment, sent his editor an unstructured narrative letter rather than the tight piece usually expected of a journalist of that time.
		Articles in the New Journalism tended not to be found in newspapers, but rather in magazines such as The New Yorker, New York Magazine, Esquire Magazine and for a short while in Scanlan's Monthly, founded in 1970 and folded in 1971.
		Hunter S. Thompson was a major practitioner of new journalism and Gonzo journalism, his own spin-off.

	Alternative Press Review 7 - Editorial - Conspiracy Theory vs Alternative Journalism
		For whatever this (often quite naive) questioning is worth, it should be encouraged by alternative media, rather than despised or ridiculed for its confused and at times nativist origins.
		The best alternative journalism is committed to investigating and exposing the workings of the real world, whether this leads down the road to conspiratorial or structural explanations, or both.
		Alternative journalism may sometimes include the exposure of conspiracies, but conspiracy theory is not the same thing as alternative journalism.

	American Alternative Journalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Journalism was the last priority in Krassner's magazine, but it provided the inspiration for the outrageousness of the underground press of the 1960s.
		From their predecessors, the underground press borrowed the fusion of art and politics of The Masses, the advocacy journalism of Appeal to Reason, the moral fire of the Catholic Worker and Liberation, the free-swinging satire of The Realist and the non-conformity and self-expression of the Village Voice.
		Of the three stalwart journals of the Left that survived all the changes of the century - The Nation, The Progressive and The New Republic - The Nation and The Progressive maintained their editorial ideology and struggled under constant financial difficulty while The New Republic turned into a neo-conservative magazine and prospered.

		Lacey and Brugmann are legends of alternative journalism.
		The high-stakes competition between the two weeklies is a fascinating case study of today's alternative journalism.
		If a locally owned weekly as solid as the Guardian cannot withstand the New Times challenge, then the continued chaining of the alternative press may mean that the future of a largely unorganized movement that grew out of independence and activism in the '60s and '70s may be, ironically enough, found in large corporations.

		The alternative press - whose roots lie in underground rags protesting the Vietnam War, celebrating rock-n-roll and the counterculture, and generally nipping at the heels of wealthy mainstream dailies in the late '60s and early '70s - is having a mid-life crisis.
		The new papers are alternatives to alternatives and have little in common with their forebears.
		Most of the founding members of the association, she says, have come a long way from eating brown rice and sleeping in the car to save enough money to pay the printer, never in their wildest dreams envisioning the kind of lasting success that is their current reality.

	Alt. Journalism? Blogs : Joe Grossberg
		Matt Welch makes a convincing argument that alternative journalism has died in weekly newspapers and been reborn in the blogosphere.
		For all the history made by newspapers between 1960 and 2000, the profession was also busy contracting, standardizing, and homogenizing.
		Journalism is done a certain way, by a certain kind of people.

		Alternative media such as Radio Venceremos, in El Salvador in the 1960s, Voz Popular, the voice of the resistance movement in Guatemala, and the Zapatista's use of the internet in 1994—and so on.
		For me, journalism is about trying to explain and expand upon those parts of the world which are generally kept dark for people.
		Susan Forde: I think that the main difference between the journalism that's practiced in the independent press and the journalism that's practiced in the mainstream is that notion of activism.

		The merging of alternative journalism with the New Media is a natural one.
		New Media technologies are transforming journalism in many ways, but one of the most important is a new "realignment" in the relationship between news organizations, journalists, sources, advertisers, and audiences [13].
		Writing in the journal Dissent, sociologist Jackie Smith notes that Indymedia's "ongoing critical commentary on local and global events" is in the forefront of a larger "dialectic between cyber subversion and the growing concentration of power that shape the politics of the new millennium" [25].

		My research speciallises in the field of alternative and radical media, that is, media that bypass the usual channels of distribution (the newsagent, the bookshop) and that are most often organised and produced by 'ordinary' people, local communities and communities of interest.
		My interest in these is broad and encompasses questions of democratic access to the media; the social value of participatory media; the types of cultures that use them; and how meaning is made and remade through such media.

		With no background in journalism beyond writing entries on philosophy for the Columbia Encyclopedia and handling publicity for the Turkish Information Office, the 40-year-old Wolf was more interested in shaking things up in his Greenwich Village neighborhood.
		He ended up influencing both the future of the neighborhood and the course of American journalism.
