A Close Call

An example of why alternative media is important: Last week I was contacted about a job interview with a company in NYC. Good little interviewee that I am, I researched the company a little. What I found was a consumer advocacy site with correspondences from former employees attesting to how awful the company was and how they manipulated and screwed over their employees. Thanks to that alternative site I knew I wanted nothing to do with that company and I was on guard at the interview. Another reason why it's important for people to be able to have the voice to critique the world around us, especially the media and corporations!
