International alternative networks are believed to be non-commercial entities which keep pace with the improvement of the quality of information and media in their respective countries. They are distinct from imperialist electrical power constructions which could be inside directed, and they are self-sufficient, noncommercial options which attempt to bring multimedia in the 21st century. They began in the 1990s. Today, they include many forms of media such as video tutorials and news websites. Many have evolved into multinational companies and constitute a key element of any democratic media strategy.
They are united by their non-commercial philosophy, and their opposition to imperialist structures of power. These groups promote their beliefs by organising information and communication reform efforts and by promoting an inclusive and equitable Internet. They also develop new networks of communication that facilitate local connections regional and global changes in relation to social movements.
The strength of these networks is rooted in cooperation, and through the organization of campaigns for social movements, as well as media reform initiatives that adapt information and communication to the benefit of everyone. They are creating a complex web of local-local, regional (especially south-south) and transnational connections that redress old colonial links and power dynamics.
These international networks continue to establish regional connections, while also promoting the democratization and reforms of information and communication. They are now a vital element in the fight for more human rights and sustainability as well as environmental sustainability.
