Apart from the main line news media, there are thousands of other alternatives news mediums that are totally a diversion from the main stream line mediums. We come face to face with various news providers like newspapers, television and radio that provide us with the updated information of various happenings that are going around all over the world and even beyond that. But in this section, we shall talk about various alternative news mediums like Internet, press releases, magazines, blogs, forums that are getting quite popular these days. Word of mouth is also a means of news but this option is not that credible as others are. Here are some of the other alternative source of news: Personal web pages, Message boards, Podcasts, Blogs and Video hosting services. These services cater to a wide range of target audience that makes them quite popular with people of all groups. The best part of these alternatives is that they don't follow commercialization as much as the other mediums do. They do follow money aspect but to a certain aspect, the reason being they are partially controlled by the common audience itself (for example blogs and forums). Some believe that Alternative media are media that are totally alternatives to the business or government-owned mass media.
