| News as rarely (if ever) reported by the mainstream media: Peaceful demonstrations and the arguments behind them, important meetings about globalization, alternative lifestyles, homelessness, trade union activities, the human effects of our foreign policies, corporate environmental wrongdoings, good news, and so on.
Publications which present serious challenges to the political status quo tend to have trouble attracting advertising and corporate investment, making it difficult to compete in a marketplace where almost all of their competitors meet the costs of printing and distribution mainly through the sale of advertising space, and can afford to run at a loss when it suits the needs of their corporate owners.
The internet has provided a massive boon to alternative news sources by sidestepping the whole paper-based 'marketplace of ideas' - by providing a way to disseminate information and commentary at very little cost to anyone. Listed below are a range of news sources on the Web; many are also available in paper editions. Those marked with a star are still waiting for someone to write them up on Everything2.
Any more suggestions?
