Abstract
This paper analyzes the organizational and business model of El Salto, an alternative media which arises from the refoundation of Diagonal as a collaborative and territorially decentralized project. We conduct a documentary revision and deep interviews with some members of the project in order to expose the potentialities, limits, contradictions and challenges of alternative media in the current hybrid media systems. We are dealing with a media linked to social movements since the late twentieth century –first as Molotov (1986-2003), later as Diagonal (2005-2016) and now as El Salto–. In their path it has been transformed from an antagonistic and counter-informative media to an alternative media –both, discursive and organizational– with a transversal perspective. In the conclusions, we discuss the future of a collaborative journalistic model based on the principles networked Fourth Estate.
