licensing newspapers and magazmes there might be some control over Violence in magazin es and newspapers Freedom of the press says the report is claimed license on the part of media industries to be free to decide content without outside interference and to be free from accountability to society That is halfdtruth distortion of right Canadians have fought for bast ardization of the English
