Preferred term

alternative and underground newspapers  

Definition(s)

  • During the 1960s and early 1970s, underground periodicals critiqued the government and mainstream society and celebrated alternative lifestyles. Some underground writers and editors thought they were inventing America's first alternative press, but in many ways, the nation's first newspaper—Publick Occurrences, Both Forreign andDomestick—of 1690 took the honor when it was suspended because it had been printed without government authority.
