Theorizing “Co-operative Advantage” in News-Markets: Rethinking Media-Ownership, Renewing the Sociology of Journalism’s Radical Tradition, and Reframing Democratic Media Reform
The sociology of journalism has traditionally neglected news co-operatives’ potential. This largely reflects the investor-owned news sector’s entrenched growth through most of the twentieth Century. However, investors increasingly fail to sustain quality, independent journalism into the twenty-first Century. This failure creates openings for the co-operative news-sector’s expansion and media democratization, practical projects implicitly intertwi…
The art of agitation: The nineteenth-century press activism of George Jacob Holyoake
This interdisciplinary study reconsiders nineteenth-century English newspaper editor George Jacob Holyoake’s paradoxical legacy. Drawing on Gramscian cultural hegemony theory, the study demonstrates Holyoake’s use of press activism to win liberal reforms, culturally empower the working class and articulate Owenist-socialism’s evolving counter-hegemony. In particular, it shows that his editorial agitations laid important discursive foundations for…
Breaking Out of Co‐operation's ‘Iron Cage’: From Movement Degeneration to Building a Developmental Movement
This article focuses on co‐operative movements’ role in developing new firms and sectors.

The paper next investigates the p…

First, provincial sector growth is compared across several indices to establish this gap’s empirical scope and scale. Second, historical research and fieldwork findings are used to illuminate the gap’s origins and its …
