This is not to discount the radical. Marginal developments are likely to have some impact upon the dominant in any social field. Within Raymond Williams’ (1977) model of social change, social life is always in flux.Whether in culture, in the more general sense, or in a practice such as news journalism, there will always be a residue of old practices and meanings and the emergence of alternative or oppositional ones surrounding the dominant. These residual and emergent forms articulate what the dominant neglects, represses or sometimes cannot even recognize, but which it is always trying to incorporate (Williams, 1977).
