JAMMING THE MEDIA is my 350-page guide to "media hacking" with chapters on zines, public access TV, film & video, indie music, media pranking, ezine publishing and more. Each chapter contains profiles, a "starter kit," and a resource section.

The Jamming website offers news of the book and the media it covers, extra material not found in the book, and an update on the book's resources.
