Underground newspapers reached their hey-day in the late 1960's - mid 1970's in the US.


Examples

Underground newspapers began in the USA but the practice soon spread. In London Barry Miles, John Hopkins and others produced "International Times" which, following legal threats was renamed IT. Richard Neville arrived in London from Australia where he had edited a satirical magazine called "Oz". He launched a British version which was A4 as opposed to IT's broadsheet format. "Oz" was also more colourful, with designers like Martin Sharp. The Berkeley Barb was an underground newspaper which was published in Berkeley, California, in the 1960s and 1970s. ... Berkeley is a city in the San Francisco Bay Area of northern California, United States. ... City nickname: The Big Apple Location in the state of New York Counties (Boroughs) Bronx (The Bronx) New York (Manhattan) Queens (Queens) Kings (Brooklyn) Richmond (Staten Island) Mayor Michael Bloomberg (R) Area  - Land  - Water 1,214. ... The Oracle could refer to: The Oracle - a character in the Matrix trilogy. ... This article is about the city in California. ... East Lansing is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan. ... The Great Speckled Bird (newspaper) The Great Speckled Bird (song) This is a disambiguation page — a navigational aid which lists other pages that might otherwise share the same title. ... This article is about the state capital of Georgia. ...


Neville published an account of the Counter Culture called "Playpower" in which he described most of the world's Underground publications. He also listed many of the regular key topics from those publications including Vietnam, Black Power, Politics, Police Brutality, Hippies & Lifestyle Revolution, Drugs, Popular Music, New Society, Cinema, Theatre, Graphics, Cartoons etc.


The Oracle, which flourished in a newsprint edition with some pages in clour and some in black & white, featured lavish psychedelic art work, articles, and poetry. The paper represented a somewhat unique direction, since it had both spiritual, community, and multi-cultural interests (reflecting mainly what was developing in the Haight-Ashbury neighbourhood). The Oracle could refer to: The Oracle - a character in the Matrix trilogy. ... Categories: US geography stubs | San Francisco neighborhoods ...

Underground comix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (608 words)
Underground comix reflect the concerns of the 1960s counterculture: experimentation in all things, drug-altered states of mind, rejection of sexual taboos, ridicule of "the establishment." The spelling 'comix' was established to differentiate these publications from mainstream 'comics'.
The term 'underground comics' was created by writer-editor Bhob Stewart during a panel discussion at the July 23, 1966, New York comics convention.
Although many of the underground artists continued to produce work, the underground comix movement is considered by most historians to have ended by 1980, to be replaced by a rise in independent, non-Comics Code compliant publishing companies in the 1980s and the resulting increase in acceptance of adult-oriented comic books (see alternative comics).
underground press: Information from Answers.com (1387 words)
The phrase underground press, especially underground newspapers (or simply underground papers) is most often used in reference to the alternative print media, independently published and distributed, associated with the countercultural movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The underground press in the 60s and 70s existed in most countries with high GDP per capita and freedom of the press; similar publications existed in some developing countries and as part of the samizdat movement in the communist states, notably Czechoslovakia.
Police harassment of the British underground in general became commonplace to the point that in 1967 the police particularly focussed on the "source of the antagonism": the underground press.
