Alternative Media by Chris Atton

Alternative Media by Chris Atton

In this book, Chris Atton offers a fresh introduction to alternative media: one which is not limited to radical' media, but can also account for newer cultural forms such as zines, fanzines, and personal websites.

′Original and intriguing…[alternative media] are very often to be found sparking the earliest stages of the news cycle and of political and cultural movements, as well as fuelling the dynamics of these processes as they developAtton makes a convincing case for treating these media with all due seriousness′ - John Downing, University of Texas at Austin

Chris Atton is Professor of Media and Culture in the School of Arts and Creative Industries of Edinburgh Napier University.  His research is primarily interested in popular culture that is produced by "ordinary," non-professional writers and editors of fanzines, radical newspapers, independent publishers and social media.  He is particularly interested in how audiences and fan communities make sense of popular culture through their own writing.  He has made special studies of music fanzines, radical political newspapers and the use of the internet for the distribution of "amateur ideas."  His books include Alternative Media (Sage, 2002) and Alternative Journalism (Sage, 2008, with James F. Hamilton).
