description So-called new technologies create imaginary worlds and give rise to attitudes and discourse with a decidedly deterministic tone. While mainstream and traditional media largely prefer to see only the bright side of new digital and information and communication technologies, some “alternative” media outlets take another tack, railing against the misdeeds of new technology and denouncing “false progress.” The article looks at one such outlet, Grenoble’s ultralocal Le Postillon, a little satirical magazine with alterglobalist leanings founded in 2009 to cover Grenoble local news. This leads into a reflection on the relationship between modern social myths and the media.
