BACKCHANNEL MEDIA

n.

Media, such as tabloid-style newspapers and television shows, preferred by populist politicians over traditional political forums such as op-ed pages and political talk shows.

"All of the rules are being broken. An outsider with no identifiable constituency, using 'back channel' media, has arisen with stunning quickness."

— Jim Wooten, "Our civilization will survive Perot's candidacy," The Atlanta Journal and Constitution
