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

Amid the shrinking of local news outlets, the rise of exploitative social media platforms, and the numbing effect of mainstream news cycles, acclaimed journalist and organizer Lewis Raven Wallace proposes an antidote: journalism driven by 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, highlighting groundbreaking contemporary examples such as
  • 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, readers will find more than tools and strategies here. 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.
