Got to love the media ownership/relationships! in TekSavvy http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22635968 en Thu, 03 Dec 2009 02:03:41 EDT Thu, 03 Dec 2009 02:03:41 EDT Re: Got to love the media ownership/relationships! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22637892 anon : I don't follow mainstream much anymore but I assume Canada still has media blackouts during elections and trials. Wonder how that is going to work with Twitter around.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22637892 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:41:07 EDT Re: Got to love the media ownership/relationships! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22637821 Martian3 : This is why it's important to get your news from multiple sources, kids.

Seriously, one of the many (many, many) great things about the internet is that it allows us to have access to so much information and so many different angles. I pull stories from CBC, BBC, AP, Reuters, and Diplo, among others. It all comes up in a handy dandy rss newsticker, so I can keep nice and connected. I haven't picked up an actual newspaper in years, except occasionally to thumb through the flyers in the local rag. Also why net neutrality is such a key issue, but I have a feeling I'm preaching to the choir on that one.

Keep fighting the good fight.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22637821 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:04:26 EDT Re: Got to love the media ownership/relationships! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22637698 Gokuu : Rocky, you can now throw JF into the pool...you have our blessing.. :D

What is complex about it ?

There is Canwest, CTV Globemedia, Quebecor Media and Rogers.
(One can add Thompson and Transcontinental for print-only media)

Just about every media outlet that is not CBC belongs to one of those.
You are so smart, SMRT! :)

I don't know if this is good or bad but I cannot find my local radio station on that cbc diagram... This is mildly disturbing.
Look under the other link... it will likely be a sub of something in there.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22636117 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:59:26 EDT Re: Got to love the media ownership/relationships! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22636105 HoboJ : I don't know if this is good or bad but I cannot find my local radio station on that cbc diagram...

Try and claim fair coverage after that...
