Protest Outside The Link

There was a small protest outside The Link's offices Monday afternoon. Witnesses say those involved were calling for the resignation of newspaper editor Justin Giovanetti.

The roots of the protest are unclear. Some say the relationship between Giovanetti and Concordia Student Union councillor Lex Gill was in question.

Members of Concordia's Hillel were also in attendance. They reportedly believed the call for his resignation was due to a recent article in which he made negative comments about member Tomer Shavit. 

Giovanetti took to Twitter to call the protest an attack on press freedom. He and other members of the Link also pointed out that members of the CSU executive were watching the protest. Their offices are located on the floor above The Link's. Giovanetti also speculated that the protest was related to the CSU's refusal to give any interviews about VP Sustainability Morgan Pudwell's recent resignation until Wednesday's council meeting.
