Media Divides by Marc Raboy,Jeremy Shtern,William J. McIver Pdf

Canada is at a critical juncture in the evolution of its communications policy. Will our information and communications technologies continue in a market-oriented, neoliberal direction, or will they preserve and strengthen broader democratic values? Media Divides offers a comprehensive, up-to-date audit of communications law and policy. Using the concept of communications rights as a framework for analysis, leading scholars not only reveal the nation’s democratic deficits in five key domains – media, access, the Internet, privacy, and copyright – they also formulate recommendations, including the establishment of a Canadian right to communicate, for the future.

Mass Media Communication in Canada by Augie Fleras Pdf

Mass Media Communication in Canada deals with the politics of persuasion in mediating the relationship between media and a rapidly changing and increasingly diverse Canada. The text focuses on the ideology and political workings of media, rather than the policies and institutions themselves. It deals with the social dimensions of media communication, presenting media as a form of persuasion and a system of power. The focus is on media in Canadian society, with particular emphasis on the relationship of media to race, gender, and society-building. Mass Media Communication in Canada is divided into three sections: Framing the Media examines mainstream media in terms of what they are, what they are mandated to do, what they really do, and how they go about doing it Media Processes explains how media work, from how newscasting constructs reality to how specific media forms (TV programming, advertising, cinema and new digital media) operate Media in Society looks specifically through case studies and suggested debates at some of the main issues in Canadian media (gender, minorities and multiculturalism, and ?Canada-building?)

Canadian Communication Policy and Law by Sara Bannerman Pdf

Canadian Communication Policy and Law provides a uniquely Canadian focus and perspective on telecommunications policy, broadcasting policy, internet regulation, freedom of expression, censorship, defamation, privacy, government surveillance, intellectual property, and more. Taking a critical stance, Sara Bannerman draws attention to unequal power structures by asking the question, whom does Canadian communication policy and law serve? Key theories for analysis of law and policy issues—such as pluralist, libertarian, critical political economy, Marxist, feminist, queer, critical race, critical disability, postcolonial, and intersectional theories—are discussed in detail in this accessibly written text. From critical and theoretical analysis to legal research and citation skills, Canadian Communication Policy and Law encourages deep analytic engagement. Serving as a valuable resource for students who are undertaking research and writing on legal topics for the first time, this comprehensive text is well suited for undergraduate communication and media studies programs.

Political Communication in Canada by Alex Marland Pdf

Changes in technology and media consumption are transforming the way people communicate about politics. Are they also changing the way politicians communicate to the public? Political Communication in Canada examines the way political parties, politicians, interest groups, the media, and citizens are using new tactics, tools, and channels to disseminate information, and also investigates the implications of these changes. Drawing on recent examples, contributors review such things as the branding of the New Democratic Party, how Stephen Harper’s image is managed, and politicians’ use of Twitter. They also discuss the evolving role of political journalism, including media coverage of politics and how Canadians use the Internet for political discussions. In an era when political communication – from political marketing to citizen journalism – is of vital importance to the workings of government, this timely volume provides insight into the future of Canadian democracy.
