Alternative Media: A Lineage of Resistance
In stock
"The alternative press has had a longer history than is usually thought and has played the crucial role of providing the accurate information needed at the heights of the perennial crisis that has defined Philippine reality for over a century. The core reason for this distinctive capacity is its not being burdened with the political and economic ties that characterize the dominant press, which during the Spanish period was controlled by the colonial government, and from the period of US colonial rule to the present has been controlled by political and business interests.
The alternative or independent press has the most potential to provide the citizenry with the fair, accurate, and unbiased information it needs to make sense of what is happening. The alternative press tradition is the mainstream tradition, and its history the true history of the Philippine press." — Luis V. Teodoro
Alternative Media: A Lineage of Resistance brings together scholars and media workers to theorize and account for the history and practice of alternative media in the Philippines.
This book honors Luis V. Teodoro whose writings on alternative media have challenged the dominant-mainstream framework of media history in favor of alternative media.
