Alternative Journalism, Alternative Voices

'Harcup evokes a heady atmosphere of idealism, ideology and the seemingly effortless potential of off-set litho printing.' - Tim Dawson, The Journalist and Northern Voices 'Inevitably there is mixture of the personal and political, the subjective and objective in this review, but in a sense that is what much of the best writing in the alternative press was about, and this book is a valuable contribution to the exploration of its place in the history of journalism.' - Granville Williams, Journalism Education '...travelling from the early chapters full of relaxed memoir and the poetry of schoolchildren and factory workers - direct and powerful - to, later on, the academic theses of people such as Clemencia Rodriquez, who never use one syllable where six will do, make this a slightly peculiar read. But one with treasures all the same.' - Bibi van der Zee, British Journalism Review
