Description

Mainstream media are becoming increasingly unreliable as a source of news stories needed to keep people informed of the important events happening around the world, as they offer what sells best, not what informs most. For those who demand reliable information, this resource guide provides the most extensive listing of independent, progressive and activist media currently available, filled with information on contacts, subscriptions and Internet access to the uncharted world of independent media, activism and investigative news.

Reviews

"Offers devastating evidence of the dumbing-down of mainstream news... Required reading for broadcasters, journalists and well-informed citizens." - Los Angeles Times "A terrific resource, especially for its directory of alternative media and organisations... Recommended for all media collections." - Library Journal "Buy it, read it, act on it." - The San Diego Review
