Article Abstract:

The emergence, structure and operation of OhmyNews, a Korean primarily online publication that hybridizes features of both commercial and ostensibly 'alternative' media are studied. The contradiction between participatory, democratic communication and capitalist modes of organization and practice was the fundamental problem for the alternative media, and progressive groups who wished to create an alternative medium needed a large-scale organization, which involved capital investment.
