This special issue of the Journal of Alternative and Community Media presents five articles that examine right-wing alternative media from different countries and contexts: Brazil, the United States, Germany and Finland. They focus on different aspects of a phenomenon that has
come to the forefront of public debate in recent years, due to the many apparently successful alternative media enterprises that can be characterised as conservative, libertarian, populist or far to extreme right wing on a political scale. While there has been much (and often heated) public
debate about this, researchers tend to lag behind when it comes to new trends, and a transient and rapidly changing media landscape. The articles in this special issue are therefore especially valuable, since they all provide empirically grounded perspectives on specific cases that illustrate
different parts of a large puzzle that is in much need of illumination. This special issue is of use not just to communication research, but also to the public debate on disinformation on the internet.

En l'espace d'une huitaine d'années, la Haute Autorité de la Communication Audiovisuelle semble s'être imposée par son action et avoir gagné en légitimité tant au niveau national qu'international. Les garanties d'indépendance accordées par la législation au régulateur audiovisuel marocain, les moyens de divers ordres mis à sa disposition, de même que l'action menée par ses membres, ont permis une ouverture et un pluralisme audiovisuel nouveau. Ces premiers changements, opérés en douceur, devront cependant être transformés dans les années qui viennent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
