  • Resumen: Abstract: This research aimed to provide insight into the contribution of alternative online media in peacebuilding. Two alternative online media were chosen since they started creating narratives from the victim’s perspective, giving voice to communities typically neglected by society and mainstream media. Additionally, this research proposed an intersection between the concepts of participatory journalism and citizen media, from the reviewed theory. A qualitative study was developed to answer three research questions: How are social issues regarding peasants, indigenous people, and students represented in Colombian alternative online media Pacifista and Rutas del Conflicto in post-conflict times?, what are the motivations of Colombian alternative online media and their journalists when portraying marginalized in the media platforms?, and what are the challenges that alternative media in Colombia face when carrying out investigative journalism about these communities in post-conflict times? Data was collected using in-depth critical discourse analysis and semi structured interviews. For analysis, data collected from both methods was compared in order to strengthen the validity of the findings which were also enrolled in academic discussion with the theory and studies conducted in the field. The study found that alternative online media have helped in peacebuilding when portraying narratives about the communities and giving them visibility. The use of their journalistic work by experts on reparation and peace is also an evidence of their contribution. The enrollment of communities in editorial processes allowed the communities themselves to transform their self-image and identity. The intersection of theories proposed in this study grants sense to the evolution of citizen media in terms of appropriation of digital media. The limitations and implications of this study highlight the need for further research on the field.
