By 2007, fifty years ago, a rudimentary framework had been developed for the World Wide Web ( then called
The Internet). Although there were attempts by the CC through legislation and economic strangulation to suppress adverse information,
unfettered news were disseminated, by a few websites to an increasingly growing audience from the inchoate Internet.
Because the corporate management vetted information adverse to their interest, these independent news sources were dubbed
"Alternative News or Uncensored News".
The sites that published these were personned by few individuals acting on conviction and a sense of duty
for the common good. Two such sources are linked here: (Note that the contents differ significantly from that reported
by the corporate media)

Half a century ago, the major news items were centred on the parts of the World where wealth was concentrated.
A huge percentage of the Biosphere's inhabitants were marginalised in terms of making news or receiving news. Attention was
focused on the people from these exploited regions only when they died in large numbers or a catastrophe befell them.
About 80% of people in these regions could not read. However there were regional publications which concentrated on events
specific to these areas. Here are two such news sources :
News from the most economically exploited region the year 2014
News from the most populated world region
