Alternative media
Alternative media are media that are alternatives to the mainstream or legacy media. Leftist sources, such as the Wikipedia, may present the term alternative media as only including left-wing alternative media (often greatly overlapping with the leftist mainstream media), ignoring the many different forms of non-mainstream media.
- Alternative media are media sources that differ from established or dominant types of media (such as mainstream media or mass media) in terms of their content, production, or distribution. Sometimes the term independent media is used as a synonym, indicating independence from large media corporations, but generally independent media is used to describe a different meaning around freedom of the press and independence from government control. Alternative media does not refer to a specific format and may be inclusive of print, audio, film/video, online/digital and street art, among others.[1]
