Les médias alternatifs sont en général motivés par des objectifs autres que le profit. Ils s'attachent à véhiculer tout un éventail d'idées ou d'opinions que l'on trouve rarement dans la presse commerciale ou à défendre les intérêts d'une communauté ou d'un groupe particuliers, peu représentés dans les principaux médias commerciaux. 2, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9dia%20alternatif
