Very good in Good jacket. 384 pages. Illustrations. DJ has some wear, edge tears and ships, minor soiling and is in a plastic sleeve. Foreword by Ben H. Bagdikian. Illustrations. Sources. Chronology. Bibliography. Index. Chronicles 200 years of U.S. publications, from Tom Paine's Common Sense to I. F. Stone's Weekly, plus The Berkeley Barb, L.A. Free Press Mother Jones, and New Age Journal. The author was the former editor of the Berkeley Barb, and had worked in newspaper and radio journalism. Ben-hur Haig Bagdikian (January 30, 1920-March 11, 2016) was an Armenian-American journalist, news media critic and commentator, and university professor. An Armenian genocide survivor, Bagdikian moved to the United States as an infant and began a journalism career after serving in World War II. He worked as a local reporter, investigative journalist and foreign correspondent for The Providence Journal. During his time there, he won a Peabody Award and a Pulitzer Prize. In 1971, he received parts of the Pentagon Papers from Daniel Ellsberg and successfully persuaded The Washington Post to publish them despite objections and threats from the Richard Nixon administration. Bagdikian later taught at the University of California, Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and served as its dean from 1985 to 1988. Bagdikian was a noted critic of the news media. His The Media Monopoly, warned about the concentration of corporate ownership of news organizations influenced, among others, Noam Chomsky. He has been hailed for his ethical standards and been described as one of the finest journalists of the 20th century. From Wikipedia: 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 this term is also used to indicate media enjoying 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. Some examples include the counter-culture zines of the 1960s, ethnic and indigenous media such as the First People's television network in Canada (later rebranded Aboriginal Peoples Television Network), and more recently online open publishing journalism sites such as Indymedia. In contrast to mainstream mass media, alternative media tend to be "non-commercial projects that advocate the interests of those excluded from the mainstream", for example, the poor, political and ethnic minorities, labor groups. These media disseminate marginalized viewpoints, such as those heard in the progressive news program Democracy Now! , and create communities of identity, as seen for example in the It Gets Better Project that was posted on YouTube in response to a rise in teen suicides at the time of its creation. Alternative media challenge the dominant beliefs and values of a culture and have been described as "counter-hegemonic" by adherents of Antonio Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony; however, since the definition of alternative media as merely counter to the mainstream is limiting, some approaches to the study of alternative media also address the question of how and where these media are created, as well as the dynamic relationship between the media and the participants that create and use them.
