Discussion We believe that Free Speech TV and Indymedia, as alternative media organizations, are exemplary outreach and teach models of social learning in cultures of civil society. We return to the original questions posed in the introduction to this article: Has alternative media historically been integrated with the teaching of civil society? How do alternative media contribute to democratic learning in civil society? What are the learning processes and outcomes? While the answers to these questions constitute a much larger and longer research endeavor than is possible within the parameters of this article, we have addressed the main intersections between alternative media, civil society, and learning culture in terms of history, and in reference to democratic practice and the integration of social learning.
