Does anybody anywhere know of any underground magazines/newspapers, that have websites? Do you have their addresses??????

I have some music ones

What do you mean by underground? Isn't an undergound newspaper website kind of an oxymoron?

Heleou2:
Thank you. I will check these out- not really what I was looking for but they sound like they are worth looking at so cheers.

Kea:
By underground I mean a source of media that does not appeal to the masses. I am looking for magazines that tackle issues of social change and do not have the word censorship in their vocabulary. I want to read articles that do not try and induce fear among it's readers and that are not afraid to speak the truth when discussing political issues. I want to learn from a media source that is not solely motivated by money, and that strives to use reason and endevours to find the truth at all times. Do you know of any?
I'am not to sure where you see the contradiction? Is it the magazine website part or the underground internet part? But no either way I do not think there is necessarily an oxyoron, however I admit that the phrasing of my initial question is contradictory but that is just a problem caused by a literal interpretation of my question. A magazine can still remain underground even by being made available on the internet. I think that it is not the means by which we communicate but the message of what we are communicating that decides whether or not something is mainstream or 'underground'.

I'm with you now. I was taking underground too literally. Originally that was a term used to describe newspapers etc that were of no fixed abode and untraceable - that was how they got away with printing what they did.

Definitely check out the Indy Media site. They have regional sites all over the world made up of local people who report the news as they see it. Their tag goes something like "dont hate the media, become the media". It's non-professional and anyone can report there. It's great for getting info off the street, and anything that isn't turning up in the mainstream press. I go there alot when the anti-globalisation things are happening because you never get any real news from the mainstream.

Other places...well it depends on what kind of perspective you are after. If you say a bit more about yourself it might be easier to make recommendations.


I must admit I get alot of my news off h2. Abbi U201919 posts alot of links in her journal about all sorts of things, but particularly what is happening in the US.

Also <./>Ask h2g2</.> and The Forum A1146917 tend to have alot of topical conversations - the links can be mainstream (often The Guardian or the BBC) but then people bring in all sorts of perspectives which widens the knowledge base on any issue considerably.

cheers,
kea.
