	The NarcoSphere \|\| The Underground Press: A Mosaic History
		The underground press was born – and it caught on.
		The Underground Press Syndicate has repeatedly encountered your brand of political repression in the thin but transparent guise of obscenity, despite the obvious fact that the primary content of Underground Press Syndicate papers is political and social writing.
		The Underground Press Syndicate has been harassed unrelentingly since it was founded in 1966, yet it has grown from just 5 papers and less than 50,000 circulation to over 200 papers and circulation over 6 million.

	Underground press - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The phrase underground press, especially underground newspapers (or simply underground papers) is most often used in reference to the alternative print media, independently published and distributed, associated with the countercultural movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
		The underground press in the 60s and 70s existed in most countries with high GDP per capita and freedom of the press; similar publications existed in some developing countries and as part of the samizdat movement in the communist states, notably Czechoslovakia.
		Police harassment of the British underground in general became commonplace to the point that in 1967 the police particularly focussed on the "source of the antagonism": the underground press.

	The Underground Press
		Key Underground Press papers in the UK in the late 1960’s/early 1970’s were International Times (‘’IT’’) started in 1966 by John Hopkins which was joined in 1967 by ‘’Oz’’ and ‘’Friends’’ (later ’’Friendz’’) which were based in the Ladbroke Grove area of London.
		Police harassment of the UK Underground in general became commonplace to the point that in 1967 The police particularly focussed on the ‘source of the antagonism’ — The Underground Press.
		It contrasts with vanity press, which usually implies payment by authors to publish; in the case of a small press the publisher is much more likely to be motivated by the idea that some writing of small immediate commercial value should nonetheless be made available by a formal publication and limited circulation.

	Underground Press Syndicate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Kindman was the founder, in December 1965, of The Paper, East Lansing, Michigan's first underground paper and one of the first five members of Underground Press Syndicate.
		In early 1968 he joined the staff of Avatar, in Boston, unaware that the large, experimental commune that controlled the paper was a charismatic cult centered on a former-musician-turned-guru named Mel Lyman, whose psychic hold over his followers was then being strengthened and intensified by means of various confrontations and loyalty tests.
		With the massive defeat of George McGovern and the election of Richard Nixon for a second term with an increased vote damaged the movement - many underground papers stopped coming out and the alternative news services such as the Liberation News Service, and the Underground Press Syndicate had collapsed.

	Jacob Brackman: The Underground Press
		The young underground press is struggling to counter with its own vision - now loving, now wildly messianic, now passionate and venomous, now withdrawn in disgust - against what it claims to be the repressive, monolithic vision of the "establishment blats." Most often, the new rebel papers might be writing about another planet altogether.
		The establishment is haunted by the ghosts of Lincoln, Jefferson, John Kennedy, Churchill, Pope John and Eleanor Roosevelt; the underground, by the ghosts of Jesus, Aldous Huxley, Lenny Bruce, Charlie Parker, Malcolm X and A.J. Muste.
		In the face of overwhelming economic and sociopolitical impotence, the underground press seeks to prepare a case for the prosecution.

	Free Speech Zinn
		The writer A. Liebling, who wrote about freedom of the press, put it this way, "The person who has freedom of the press is the person who owns one." Owning a press gives you a lot more freedom of speech than having to write a letter to your local newspaper, hoping the editor publishes it.
		Perhaps the difference between totalitarian control of the press and democratic control of the press can be summed up by the observation of Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky in their book Manufacturing Consent: In Guatemala dissident journalists were murdered; in the United States they were fired or transferred.
		Freedom of the press depends on the energy and persistence of people in developing their own newspapers, magazines, and pamphlets, to say things that will not appear in the mainstream press.

	Research by Jennifer Rauch
		The modern underground press (as it is known, although it operated freely and never really was underground like the Civil War railroad or the French resistance) trend began in New York with the 1955 appearance of the Village Voice, which calls itself the father of the modern underground newspaper.
		The people who worked on the Free Press were by and large those groups which felt alienated by the conventional press, who speaks to and for the homogeneous middle.3 In the 1960s, this included Blacks, feminists, Spanish immigrants, homosexuals, socialists, communists and war resisters.
		This sustained influence of underground newspapers' is signaled by the widespread presence in mainstream media of once-verboten elements; four-letter words, overt sexuality, and slang such as pig, pad, dig, the man, bust, acid and head are now universally used.

	Interview with Mick Farren by Rich Deakin
		RD) In response to [my] question (21.1.99), 'Do you think the London underground press was as relevant to people in the provinces as it was to those in the capital ?' you say that 'The NME and Melody maker at that time lagged far behind'.
		RD) You indicated that things in the underground press 'became really unglued' (26.1.99) when Richard Neville's attempt to link overground and underground press with the ill-fated Ink, allowed the underground press to be encroached upon by the likes of NME.
		RD) The underground was always renowned for its libertarian tendencies, and the Angry Brigade also found a mouthpiece in the underground press.

	New Statesman - Notes from underground
		The new-wave independent magazines also tap into an underground culture: Plan B is a rallying point for music lovers disillusioned with the bland cynicism of the entertainment industry, while the film magazine Little White Lies prides itself on providing a space for discussion and debate around cinema, rather than a system of reviews and ratings.
		Perhaps the true inheritor of the utopian ideals of the Sixties underground press is the internet, where bloggers and the open-source movement are pursuing the dream of free information for all.
		In the same way as the Sixties underground press eventually fell prey to the big money of the rock'n'roll industry, today's indie publications have not escaped the attention of advertisers.

		There is a saying that "Freedom of the press belongs to those who own one." In past eras, this was probably the case, but now, high speed methods of typesetting, offset printing and a host of other developments have made substantial reductions in printing costs.

	Tribes of the Cass Corridor - fifth Estate
		The nation-wide underground press movement of the time was enormous in scope, with at least 500 regularly appearing tabloids by 1970 and perhaps thousands more which disappeared after only an issue or two.
		The Underground Press Syndicate was established to coordinate connections between the papers and promote their distribution.
		Although the reasons for the collapse of the movements of that era and with it the underground papers are complex, I would date the watershed event as the 1972 elections to mark the official end of what is designated as the "60s.".

	Welcome to the Tucson Citizen
		I was freelance (strike one), writing for the underground press (strike two) and openly sympathetic to my subjects (foul ball).
		To bolster my case that even a freelancer for the underground press was entitled to reporters' rights, I invited colleagues across the country to write affidavits on my behalf addressing the issues - first, that empathy for my subjects shouldn't matter, and, second, that the underground press was a valid news source.
		A reporter for a Phoenix radio station wrote to the judge, "There is only one way to cover 'the underground,' and that is to become a part of it." Muckraker James Ridgeway chimed in, as did Liberation News Service, the AP of the underground press.
