Following Laclau and
Mouffe’s (1985) notion of radical democracy,
Rodriguez argues that the significance of
alternative media resides less in their ability to
impact upon governmental institutions and
more in their ability alter individual and group
self-perception, challenge oppressing social relations,
and thereby enhance participants’ own
access to power. Thus, in contrast to Atton
(2002a), Downing (2001), Halleck (2002) and
Streitmatter (2001), who primarily define the
democratic significance of alternative media in
terms of their ability to affect large-scale social
and political reform, Rodriguez (2001) defines
the democratic significance of alternative media
in terms of their ability to affect the everyday
lives of citizens.
