The daily information we receive is often tinted by corporate influence in such that sometimes we wonder if we should trust many news agencies. The fact that a lot of news agencies are financed by big corporations or are themselves corporate affect the veracity of the information that they report and the investigative journalism that they provide. The conflict of interest that arises between corporations and news agencies makes the readers question the sources of the information. For example, recently we have seen a lot of coverage of the protests against the Pipeline project in North Dakota, but we don’t know exactly the big players behind the project. “Democracy now”, which is an independent news agency reported the interest that big banks and corporations were financing the project even though they claim to help the protection of the environment. As the report indicates, after an independent investigation by Food & Water Watch, how these corporations are investing a lot of money for future profits; this information was not reported by big news agencies.
