news agency (alternative)

An alternative news agency (or alternative news service) operates in a similar fashion to a commercial news agency, but defines itself as an alternative to commerical or "mainstream" operations. These span the political spectrum, but most frequently are progressive or radical left. Sometimes they combine the services of a News agency and a News syndicate. Among the primary clients are alternative weekly newspapers.
