Alternative press (U.S. political right)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under the broad heading of the alternative press are several subcategories including periodicals published by groups, movements, or individuals affiliated with the U.S. political right. As the word press implies, these are printed publications, as opposed to electronic forms of alternative media. This list also excludes widely circulated daily newspapers primarily consumed for non-political coverage, such as The Washington Times or the New Hampshire Union Leader.

As with the Left, the American Right encompasses an enormous spectrum of sometimes conflicting ideological schools, core issues, and orientation toward populist versus academic sensibilities. Libertarians, notably, reject the traditional left-right spectrum altogether, although it has been customary to link them to the U.S. right due to their parallel acceptance of liberal economics and anticommunism.

As such, the inclusion of any particular publication on this list may be controversial in certain quarters. The editorial page of the mainstream Wall Street Journal and the contents of the print edition of William F. Buckley, Jr.'s National Review are often used as proxies for the views of the conventional, national political right, though they are rejected by various regional or intellectual spheres.
