Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Canada's consolidated media system means that a small group of people are controlling a larger number of media products, which can lead to limited perspectives being presented and bias being introduced. This can make it challenging to be media literate as individuals may not have access to a diverse range of viewpoints and may need to actively seek out alternative sources to fully understand an event or issue.
