Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
Published: 2009
Media corporations claim to care about quality journalism, but they#ve deceived Canadians for decades -- censoring news to protect their profits, pandering to the interests of the corporate world, and neglecting to invest adequately in their news operations. For decades powerful media corporations have decided what news Canadians should read, hear, and see. By reading just about any Canadian daily newspaper it#s not hard to see how the values of corporate-owned media are quite different from the values and interests of the majority of Canadians.
