This article discusses overall censorship of the media. She believes that, in a democracy, the press cannot be censored but at the same time is not necessarily always justified.

Dyczok, Marta. "Was Kuchma's Censorship Effective? Mass Media in Ukraine Before 2004." Europe-Asia Studies. 58.2 (Mar. 2006). 215-238. Academic Search Premier. EBSCOhost. Helmke Library, Fort Wayne, IN, 4 Nov 2007.

In this article, the author discusses censorship that was enforced on the media in Ukraine, including its effectiveness. Using this article will allow me to compare freedom of speech in the media with another country that censored their media and what kinds of effects it brought.

"Schools Fail Free Speech 101." USA Today. 12 Feb 2007. EBSCOhost. Helmke Library, Fort Wayne, IN, 4 Nov 2007.

This article is a good example of one place where free speech actually is limited in our democracy: public schools. The article includes several instances in which the school media is limited, including a case in Cincinatti, where a principle required a page to be ripped out of the school newspaper before it could be distributed
