Alternative Journalism
- Chris Atton - Napier University, UK
- James F Hamilton - University of Georgia, USA
In investigating the challenges to media power presented by alternative journalism, this book addresses not just the issues of politics and empowerment but also that of the journalism of popular culture and the everyday. The result is essential reading for students of journalism - both mainstream and alternative.
A very interesting book and looks at the different forms of journalism, I am looking into teaching students about podcasting and if I can make that come to light, this book will be essential rather than recommended
Excellent update on Chris Atton's seminal earlier work in this field.
This is a very useful book which helps give an insight into new forms of journalism which are emerging. We will be adopting this book as supplementary reading to go with our multimedia module as we don't have an alternative journalism module as such
Excellent text on an under-researched area.
It doesn't currently fit in with our studies. However, with the launch of a new Journalism course in 2010, I am antcipating it will be a recommended text for level two modules.
A clearly written text with some excellent examples from current practice.
