When CanWest media decides to implement central editorials in all its media outlets and deny the publication of views contrary to central editorial, freedom of speech comes under fire. However, not all media sources are corporate controlled by profit agendas. Some media aim to provide non-sensationalized facts and stories from the people's perspectives rather than the boardroom's. It's important that students learn about alternative sources for current affairs studies.
