News Cultures and New Social Movements: radical journalism and the mainstream media
Radical media can be viewed as an extremely democratic form of communication, where people
normally denied access to the mainstream media are able to speak on issues that concern them. Radical
media are especially important for new social movements, where "activist-journalists" seek to establish a
counter-discourse to those typically found in mainstream media. One striking technique employed in radical
media is "native reporting", where Ž rst-person, activist accounts of events are preferred over more detached
commentaries.
