underground newspaper
Clandestine printed periodical
An underground newspaper is a publication produced outside mainstream media channels, typically promoting radical, countercultural, or dissident viewpoints.
The term evokes the alternative press that flourished during the 1960s and 70s, covering antiwar movements, civil rights, and topics ignored by establishment media.
Underground suggests both literal clandestine production and opposition to dominant culture: The underground newspaper circulated samizdat-style through the university.
