Journalism As Resistance (How to Fight Authoritarianism with Movement Media and Grassroots Reporting)

For young journalists and activists, a first-of-its-kind guidebook to movement journalism that sparks social change and transforms news media for the better

Amid the shrinking of local news outlets, the rise of exploitative social media platforms, and the numbing effect of mainstream news cycles, we are witnessing acclaimed journalist and organizer Lewis Raven Wallace proposes an antidote: movement journalism, driven by and accountable to the social movements of our time. Journalism As Resistance is the first book to document the rising power of movement journalism, while also providing practical guidance for those who seek to do it themselves.

Wallace proposes 10 core goals of movement journalism and highlights groundbreaking contemporary examples of each, including

• Country Queers and their grassroots efforts to build oral history archives
• Neighborhood ICE watch groups sharing information through an app
• The Kansas City Defender's abolitionist "Freedom School" for young Black activists,

Whether seeking to inspire local action or transform national narratives, this book offers more than tools and strategy. Journalism as Resistance 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 the democratic values we strive toward.
