Media and Production

The article Critical Thinking, Deviant Knowledge and The Alternative Press by Eland, and the two articles on zines give good insight on why these alternatives are a great source of information. Zines and the sources given by Eland are organizations that aren’t as interested in making large profits. Some are even non profit. Their main difference from information presented by the media and large publications is that they aren’t biased or influenced by money. This allows more direct and less opinionated information. I believe its important for these sources to remain because in these times every source is manipulated by money and can lead to “cherry coated” or biased information in order to appeal to mass audiences.
