It taps into the renewed scholarly interest in media actors that, in different ways and to different extents, challenge established news media and a perceived societal mainstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis edited volume further advances this (re-)emerging research field conceptually and methodologically and develop frameworks for analysis and systemic perspectives that are applicable across dissimilar national media and political contexts. In so doing, the book extends beyond the here and now of single-country case studies and lays a theoretical, methodological, and analytical foundation for better linking and integrating future empirical studies. The contributions are organized into three main sections: conceptual cornerstones, methodological challenges, and systemic conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIncluding cases from the Northern, Central, Eastern, and Southern parts of Europe, the book showcases work from some of the leading scholars within the field of alternative media research, as well as from up-and-coming junior researchers.
