Beyond the Echo Chamber: How a Networked Progressive Media Can Reshape American Politics Paperback – Illustrated, February 9, 2010
Purchase options and add-ons
In the twenty-first century, a new breed of networked progressive media―from Brave New Films to Talking Points Memo to Feministing and beyond―have informed and engaged millions, influencing political campaigns, public debates, and policymaking at unprecedented levels.
In Beyond the Echo Chamber, media experts Jessica Clark and Tracy Van Slyke tell the story of the rise of progressive media and lay out a clear, hard-hitting theory of ongoing impact. A vital strategic guide based on years of research and extensive interviews with key media players and new media experts, Beyond the Echo Chamber will change the national conversation about progressive media and the future of journalism itself. For progressive journalists, bloggers, producers, activists, citizens, and policymakers committed to change, here is a roadmap to victory.

Editorial Reviews
Review
― Laura Flanders, Host of GRITtv and author of Blue Grit
“Beyond the Echo Chamber tells one of the great untold stories of this decade: the evolution of an entirely new (and newly powerful) progressive media. . . . It's a must read for media practitioners, consumers, and progressives of all stripes.”
― Christopher Hayes, Washington editor of The Nation and a fellow at the New America Foundation
“[This book] takes us beyond the usual ideas about political media, message, and movement building . . . empowering people to break out of conventional wisdom about politics and media and really start making their own change.”
― Mike Lux, co-founder and CEO, Progressive Strategies
“An inspiring inside guide―as current as this morning's blog post―to progressive media successes in the Net era: exposing corruption, slaying politicians, activating communities, moving Congress, turning elections.”
― Jeff Cohen, director of the Park Center for Independent Media at Ithaca College

- Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2011Excellent book with research based, actionable steps for digital advocacy. I had the opportunity to participate in the Newseum Conference "Digital Advocacy In The Internet Age" at the Newseum. This book was the best "takeaway" from the event. "In less than a decade, a new breed of networked progressive (citizen journalists) will engage millions of reader participants". Case reviews and trend analysis of Brave New Films, Talking Points Memo, Feminnisting.
