Removal of the Copy Edit Tag

[edit]

Article merged

[edit]

Article merged: See old talk-page here

This is very academic and misses the reality of alt-media - alt media is grassroots from the bootem not academic from the top like this article...

this is still a problem on this page

Improving this page

[edit]

Can we make the introductory definition of alternative media shorter and work more in expanding the subsections? I think we should try to create subsections for the different categories of alternative media (e.g. dissident media, social movement media, ethnic media, indigenous media, community media, subcultural media, and avant-garde media). lombana 30 November, 2010

Do we really need a section on alternative media researchers? What is the criteria for building this list? lombana 30 November, 2010

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

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)[reply]

I have edited spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. Also found an error in the citation of the Environmental movement sub-section, there is a open-ended quote starting off "ensure.... And the closing of quotation needs to be addressed. Nbuend (talk) 14:20, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There should be more of current information regarding the progress and impact of alternative media regarding current times of how news in consumed and regulated. Nbuend (talk) 02:43, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

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

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

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)[reply]
See above: there is "media" and "press" suggested as categories. Press is for print, such as Human Events.
What about relatively political realist investigative journalism entities that fit neither left nor right, such as CaspianReport, Newsbud or the Corbett Report? 190.160.130.40 (talk) 18:28, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What about Wikinews?

[edit]

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

Ehem....

[edit]

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)[reply]

Quotation

[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Counter hegemony

[edit]

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[reply]

Consider this (if you are willing to take the time .. not a quick read): http://fuchs.uti.at/wp-content/uploads/altmedia.pdf Kenfree (talk) 22:47, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unexplained POV tag

[edit]

@TheBearEditor: There is a {{POV}} cleanup tag on this article, but I see no obvious problems with the article's "neutrality". What is the reason for the cleanup tag that you added to this article last month? Jarble (talk) 19:37, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Jarble: This user has been banned and talkpage access has been revoked. You're free to remove the tag as explanations are unlikely to be forthcoming within the foreseeable future. -- dsprc [talk] 20:00, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New article: Alternative media (non-aligned)

[edit]

On WP there are two articles that list left-wing and right-wing alternative media. I would like to create a third non-aligned page for news media that doesn't fit into those categories, such as Newsbud or CaspianReport. Any comments? 190.160.130.40 (talk) 22:14, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
