About the book:
Alternative Media in Canada challenges the notion of what media is, its role in policy and society, and why it matters to everyone who consumes mass media. This path-breaking volume gets to the heart of this question by focusing on the three interconnected dimensions that define alternative media in Canada: structure, participation, and activism.
