The term Fifth Estate is any class or group in society other than the clergy (First Estate), the nobility (Second Estate), the commoners (Third Estate), and the press (Fourth Estate). It has been used to describe trade unions, the poor and organized crime. It can also be used to describe media that sees itself in opposition to mainstream (Fourth Estate) media. The term is different in origins and meaning from 'Fifth Column,' used to describe subversive or insurgent elements in a society. It's origins probably comes from the French Estates-General. And for all you bloggers out there, Media researcher Stephen D. Cooper argues that bloggers are the Fifth Estate.
