Talk:Radical media

Recommendations
Great hook sentence! Stylistically, this article reads really well. Just a couple of issues:
 * In the second paragraph of your introductory section, the fifth sentence lists “progressive” twice.
 * In your “Prefigurative media” section, the fourth sentence introduces “Rodriguez’ phrase—“citizens’ media” and you don’t close the reference (ie with another double dash –)

A section referencing articles (both internal (wiki) and external) might be effective in demonstrating what Radical Alternative Media is.

feedback on your article
Hi Junohk, Your explanation on Radical Media is clear and interesting. Your insight analysis on social, democratic and political aspects of radical media is attractive. It would be more complete if you can focus on explaining this term from other perspectives. For example, the visualization of radical media, framework of a radical media interface, and etc. The reason is that people may be interested in understanding this term from a more objective perspective in Wikipedia. Here is one article that may be useful for that: http://journals2.scholarsportal.info.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/details/10723374/v168i0001/133_totinrm.xml link to the article: http://journals2.scholarsportal.info.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/pdf/10723374/v168i0001/133_totinrm.xml Cheers, --Zhengya3 (talk) 20:14, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Zhengya3, I really appreciate your point regarding visualization of the media! It is actually very interesting as this type of media involves a wide range of participants. Visual communication is key to the forming of such groups. However, the two links you posted here are the same and they seem to talk about radical media in a different context (science technology). I don't think this is the radical media that we are talking about. Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks,

I see you’ve already looked into Downing’s book Radical Media: Rebellious communication and social movements. I’ve read sections of this for other classes and have found it very informative.

This one is pretty interesting. This PR company has copyrighted the term “Radical Media”. There are quite a few blogs that are pretty angry about this: http://www.radicalmedia.com/Legal

Hey, great article! It reads smoothly and provides concise information on the topic. Not many suggestions but maybe a look at historical examples of radical alternative media and the outcomes of those efforts, or current examples of organization participating or promoting radical alternatives to mass media. I came across some articles that may be of interest to you, please have a look:
