While the alternative media documentation of some segments of civil society sometimes contemplates the realm of possible revolution, much of the work remains within the boundaries of a war of position. Gramsci’s (1971) “organic intellectuals” (p. 1) serve as leaders in this war of position in which members of subaltern groups form new historical blocs based on counter-hegemonic structures that promote and support their political, economic and cultural interests. These subaltern groups are examples of segments of the learning culture of civil society accessing alternative media. Gramsci supported this kind of culture by promoting resistance to early 20th century fascism in Italy through the work of a grassroots communal press, written, produced, and read by community-based constituents operating in solidarity and against the state.
