Alternative journalism typically takes place in relatively open and participatory, non-professionalized and non-commercial media organizations, often utilizing collective and non-hierarchical working methods. Implicit in alternative journalism is a rejection and critique of many of the established practices of mainstream journalism, with the consequence that alternative journalists may see themselves as working to different news values, covering different stories, giving access to a different cast of news actors and sources, operating to an alternative set of ethics, and in effect operating as a form of watchdog on mainstream journalistic organizations that like to portray themselves as watchdogs.
