Counterpoise (1997-2011) is an alternative review journal formerly based in Gainesville, Florida (United States).
It was founded in 1997 by Charles Willett (1932-2012), as a project of the AIP Task Force[1] of the American Library Association's Social Responsibilities Round Table.
[2] In January 2001, Counterpoise became a project of the Civic Media Center (an alternative library also located in Gainesville, Florida).
The magazine was distributed throughout the US, Canada, Great Britain, and Europe; subscribers and contributors came from a wide range of fields and included historians, journalists, librarians, teachers, and activists of all stripes.
Former volunteers from the Counterpoise collective and the CMC produce a weekly talk radio show for Gainesville's low power FM station WGOT-LP 100.1, which began broadcasting in January 2008.
