Public Expression Outside the Mainstream

Abstract

Although most research in political communication concerns conventional, electoral politics and mainstream media, scholars need to focus on the margins of the public sphere as well. By studying social groups that find it difficult to garner attention from the major networks and newspapers, we discover a variety of interesting innovations in human communication. This article discusses a few cases, historical and contemporary, of marginal political communication in order to highlight forms and possibilities of mediated communication that are overlooked in typical discussions of media and American politics.
