Beyond The Echo Chamber by Jessica Clark

Beyond The Echo Chamber by Jessica Clark

In less than a decade, a new breed of progressive media projects have captured huge, non-traditional audiences and shaped political campaigns, public debates and policy in ways that could never have been imagined in a previous era. Drawing on years of research, media experts Jessica Clark and Tracy Van Slyke now lay out a clear, hard-hitting theory of media impact. Their study showcases influential projects such as TPM Caf , FireDogLake and Feministing, suggesting ways in which media makers can exploit changes in journalism, technology, and politics.

“From ‘he-media’ to ‘we-media,’ Van Slyke and Clark document the shift from a media universe dominated by a few grim men to one in which progressive media can experiment, collaborate, report, and have real impact”
— Laura Flanders, Host of GRITtv and author of Blue Grit

“Beyond the Echo Chamber tells one of the great untold stories of this decade: the evolution of an entirely new (and newly powerful) progressive media. . . . It’s a must read for media practitioners, consumers, and progressives of all stripes.”
— Christopher Hayes, Washington editor of The Nation and a fellow at the New America Foundation

“[This book] takes us beyond the usual ideas about political media, message, and movement building . . . empowering people to break out of conventional wisdom about politics and media and really start making their own change.”
— Mike Lux, co-founder and CEO, Progressive Strategies

“An inspiring inside guide—as current as this morning’s blog post—to progressive media successes in the Net era: exposing corruption, slaying politicians, activating communities, moving Congress, turning elections.”
— Jeff Cohen, director of the Park Center for Independent Media at Ithaca College
