The Alternative Media Project is a non-profit organization that promotes alternative and independent media. Its projects include Infoshop.org, Practical Anarchy magazine, Breaking Glass Press, and Radical Street Distro.[1][2]

Breaking Glass Press publishes pamphlets such as "Cop Watch 101" and the "Infoshop Guide to Grand Jury Investigations", and plans to publish the revised edition of the Black Bloc Papers in 2006.

Infoshop.org

Infoshop.org was founded in January 1995 as the Mid-Atlantic Infoshop. Having previously co-founded an online archive of anarchist texts, the Spunk Library, in 1992, Infoshop was established as a general resource on anarchism, moving to the domain name Infoshop.org in 1998.[3]

A prominent feature of the site is Infoshop News, an open publishing newswire similar to that of Indymedia.[4]

Practical Anarchy was an anarchist magazine that was published quarterly by the Alternative Media Project.[1][2] Begun in 1991 as an irregular publication, for many years it advocated anarchy as practice, such as organizing housing cooperatives, environmentalism, workplaces and DIY media. Its slogans were "put a little anarchy into your life" and "anarchy is everywhere".
