Freedom to read doesn't just encompass books, we also have the freedom to read the news, blogs, web-sites, and so on. News is one of those things that often contentious - on one hand we want to know what's happening, but on the other hand we don't always want on the gory details being broadcasted.
For example, the recent Pickton trial coverage resulted in a lot of talk about what's enough and what's too much.
But, sometimes we don't even get a chance to be offended or worried, because the news is censored from us. ProjectCensored.org made a list of the Top 25 Censored Stories of 2007. Take a look and see if there's anything of interest to you on the list.
