Kenix, Linda Jean. Alternative and mainstream media [electronic resource] / the converging spectrum / Linda Jean Kenix. Alternative and mainstream media London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2011. 1 online resource (vii, 216 p.) 20111101 Includes bibliographical references and index. Open access Unrestricted online access star Alternative and Mainstream Media Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: The Modern Media Continuum Chapter 3: Media Frames Chapter 4: The Power of Representation Chapter 5: Defining Media Through Individual Motivations and Identities Chapter 6: Defining Media Through Organisational Practices Chapter 7: Defining Media Through Media Ownership Chapter 8: Defining Media Through Ideological Influences In this book, Linda Jean Kenix shows how alternative and mainstream media exist on the same continuum, and where their points of convergence lie. She also demonstrates how alternative media creates 'alternative communications', and casts the whole media spectrum in a new light. Historically, alternative media have been viewed as fundamental, albeit at times culturally peripheral, forces in social change. In this book, however, Kenix argues that these media do not uniformly subvert the hierarchies of access that are so central to mainstream media - in fact, their journalistic norms and routines have always been based on the professional standards of the mainstream. Kenix goes on to posit the perception of 'mainstream' and 'alternative' as a misconception. She argues that, although alternative media can - and do - construct distinct alternative communications, they have always existed on the same continuum as the mainstream and the two will continue to converge. Through comparative analysis, this book argues that many alternative and mainstream media are merging to create a continuous spectrum rooted in commercial ideology. Indeed, much of what is now considered alternative media actually draws very little from principles of the independent press, whereas many contemporary mainstream media now use communication techniques more commonly associated with media that do not operate for financial gain. This book puts forward a controversial but convincing argument around the relationship between alternative and mainstream media, drawing on examples from the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand to strengthen and develop the central premise.
