The Love Police and CVEITCH are an example of how digital media has created an alternative to the values of the mainstream media. They often film incidents such as the student demonstrations in London last year and demonstrations by organisations such as the EDL and provide a very different representation to the representations offered by mainstream media. Charlie Veitch recently posted on his blog that THE LOVE POLICE as a project has now ended. However, I imagine CVEITCH will continue to post his provocative material.
Why am I posting this material? This is an example of how the audience can become the producer and challenge the dominant value system of mainstream media. Broadcast quality HD video cameras can now be purchased relatively cheaply, editing software is now cheap and accessible, and platforms such as YOU TUBE offer the potential for global distribution.

Feel free to navigate this site. Is CVEITCH a lunatic? The voice of reason? Slightly misguided? Or a clown with a video camera? You decide! What are the media issues and debates that we can explore through non-mainstream media such as this site?
