Before entering into a discussion of the contrasts between alternative media and mass media, we offer a textual analysis of Free Speech TV and Indymedia. We analyzed Web sites, pamphlets, and articles, and included our experiences visiting the offices and production studio of FSTV. Indymedia is a virtual network without walls, so our visits were conducted via the Internet. We exemplify elements of the outreach and teach approach used by these two alternative media outlets in this analysis.
