Radical political activist movements are growing all the time.
Activist politics have come to influence 'mainstream' politics over
fundamental issues such as trade, gender relations, the environment
and war.
This book brings together activists and academics in one volume, to
explore the theory and practice of global activism's relation to all
forms of media, mainstream and otherwise. The contributors examine how
global activism is represented in the mainstream press and explain the
strategies that activists adopt to spread their own ideas.
Investigating Indymedia and internet activism, they show how
transformations in communications technology offer new possibilities,
and explain how activists have successfully used and developed their
own media. Case studies and topics include the world social forums, an
example of a campaign from the NGO Action Aid, a campaign strategy
from an internet activist, Greenpeace and the Brent Spar conflict, the
World Development Movement and representations in the mainstream
press, the Independent Media Centre, transgender activism on the net,
Amnesty International, Oxfam and the internet.
