Interesting book from the activist scene in Canada, describes the practices, the possibilities (and problems) of a variety of (old and new) media and tactics:

Autonomous Media, activating resistance & dissent (Cumulus
Press Montreal 2005) 168 pagina's, 13 euro :

Autonomous media are the vehicles of social movements. They are attempts to subvert the social order by re-claiming media and public spaces from the private domain. Autonomous media are defined by their openness--in terms of content and membership--and their objective of amplifying the voices of people and groups that normally do not have access to the media. They are intended to provide people and communities with information that is alternative to that within the corporate mass media, and audiences are encouraged to participate directly in the production of content.
