Alternative Media Using Vlogs

I shared this video last semester in my seminar presentation for Dr. Thompson's Cultural Studies class. I consider New Left Media as one of the alternative media on the web. I consider all sorts of cultural and political video blogs on the web as part of the alternative media. Reason: They are media, which are alternatives to the business or government owned mass media. So these people pretty much produce media different than the mainstream media. Regarding in a political perspective, these people often think media are bias and ignoring opposition. They tend to think there is inequality of wealth and power. They also think misuse of money and power filter out the news.

I recommend you to start watching by 01:18. I think it's very interesting.

Coming back to this video, New Left Media is an independent owned alternative media. followed up on YouTube and only two people manage it: the reporter Chase Whiteside and the camera Erick Stoll. They ask “supposedly” fair questions people who are in supportive meetings for Republican Party. New Left Media is trying to take attention of democrats. Mainstream media often play with ideologies to promote not only the capitalism propaganda but also demonize social movements, such as health care reform. In New Left Media, there are some interesting short interviews with right-wing community. Especially, in Washington D.C. Tea Party, reporter Chase Whiteside tries to prove that people who support an ideology are not even aware of the actual meaning of the things they support.
