Summary
A breakthrough guide to how journalism and media can spark social change and build power toward a liberatory future

Amid downsizing local news, exploitative social media platforms, and the numbing effect of mainstream news cycles, acclaimed activist journalist Lewis Raven Wallace proposes an antidote: journalism driven by the social movements of our time. Journalism as Resistance documents the rising power of movement journalism, while also providing guidance on ethics and a theory of change for those who seek to do it themselves.

Wallace proposes 10 core purposes for movement media efforts, including

  • Building archives to document histories in danger of being erased
  • Meeting the information needs of communities that lack local news coverage
  • Providing political education to help people identify and unearth the roots of harm
  • Changing policies and practices by supporting prison journalism from the inside
This book extends hope to those hungry for media that puts purpose before profit. "Just telling true stories is not enough," Wallace writes. What we need is journalism grounded in expansive visions for democracy and liberation.
