Full textAbstract:
The largely unregulated early years of Canadian radio were vital to development of broadcasting policy. The Report of the Royal Commission on Radio Broadcasting in 1929 and American broadcasting both changed the direction of Canadian broadcasting, but were mitigated by the early, largely unregulated years. Broadcasters operated initially as small, independent, and local broadcasters, then, national networks developed in stages during the 1920s and 1930s. The late adoption of radio broadcasting policy to build a national network in Canada allowed other practices to take root in the wake of other examples, in particular, American commercial broadcasting. By 1929 when the Aird Report recommended a national network, the potential impact of the report was shaped by the path of early broadcasting and the shifts forced on Canada by American broadcasting and policy. Eventually Canada forged its own course that pulled in both directions, permitting both private commercial networks and public national networks.

In framing the call-for-papers that kicked off this special issue, we asked potential contributors “what considerations might guide our attention as we think through public media as a socially central symbolic space that ought to be returned to the public interest? How might we come to re-inhabit public institutions?†Further to this, we queried possible contributors about the role and potentials of public broadcasting (notably the CBC) in a changing mediascape, and the possibilities for public media – not limited to the specific domains of established public broadcasters such as the CBC and the provincial educational networks, but rather appealing to an open interpretation of the term – that might be prefigured or imagined at present. As outlined in the introduction to this issue, the written pieces that arose from this line of questioning are varied and vital in their contributions.
To place this exercise in context, it is important to note that this special issue of Stream was conceived and produced in conjunction with a public event held at the Wosk Centre for Dialogue at Simon Fraser University on February 6th, 2014 under the title ‘Occupy Public Broadcasting: Alt. Futures for the CBC’. That evening’s discussion brought together an eclectic panel and participating audience of media scholars, practitioners, activists, and concerned community members in dialogue and debate over the relative merits, limitations, and – most importantly – the future prospects for the CBC, other public broadcasters, and public media beyond this (circumscribed) context.

Abstract Due in large measure to its iconic Hockey Night in Canada telecasts, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is known nationally for its interest in sport. The network has also sponsored its own sport-themed dramatic and documentary productions. Examining filmic representations of the history of hockey, this paper considers the 2006 CBC docudramatic production Canada Russia ’72. This paper explores the use of the docudrama form for telling historical sport stories while examining the role of Canada’s public broadcaster in producing sport films and promulgating national mythologiess.

Full textAbstract:
Although it has been nearly four decades since Raymond Williams’ book Television: technology and cultural form (Williams, 2003/1975) was first published, I find it helpful to return to this seminal work with a view of reflecting on the future of public media in Canada. Television is often remembered for Williams’ critique of technological determinism in Marshall McLuhan’s theory of media. But the book should also be remembered for a number of other significant contributions, including the prescient chapter titled “Alternative technology, alternative uses?†in which Williams examined some of the innovations in broadcasting technologies being developed at the time. For Williams, these innovations represented at once a risk and an opportunity. The risk was that people in the United States and the United Kingdom who were in a position to shape the implementation of these innovations would remain complacent, allowing their deployment to be ‘sorted out as we go’ (Williams, 2003/1975, p. 140). The opportunity was that changes to broadcasting infrastructure could afford people the chance to address structural inequities and imagine alternative uses. Williams believed that the early stages in implementing new technological innovations represented an opportune moment for putting in place alternative organizational and policy arrangements for television broadcasting.

Full textAbstract:
This article revisits historical rivalries between established and emerging media, namely the press and broadcasting, during the first half of the twentieth century. To this end, the author constructs a dialogue between Neville Petersen's broadcasting research and his own press research over a similar period. In his major work, News Not Views: The ABC, Press and Politics (1932–1947), Petersen (1993) elaborates in detail the ongoing constraints imposed by Australian newspaper proprietors on the fledgling Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) in their ultimately unsuccessful struggle to restrict its news supply and influence. Drawing on subsequent press research based on international forums, the author revisits this rivalry, particularly Petersen's thesis that Australian press proprietors exercised disproportionate influence over the national broadcaster when compared with other English-speaking countries, such as Britain and Canada.

Full textAbstract:
The wildly popular educational program Sesame Street arrived in Canada during a key transitional period for Canadian broadcasting policy in the early 1970s. An American-made program, it was threatened with cancellation by stations seeking to meet their Canadian content (CanCon) quotas with the least possible financial cost. A heated debate that included public protests and lobbying ensued, involving the Canadian Radio-Television Commission (CRTC), the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), the media, parliamentarians, parents and even children. Each group advanced their particular interests regarding the issue of Canadianizing television. Ultimately, the CBC provided a compromise solution with the Canadianization of Sesame Street, whereby a portion of the program’s segments would be replaced by Canadian-made material that aimed to provide messages about Canada for young children. This tumultuous debate and its ultimate solution reveal the ambivalent attitudes held by Canadians, private broadcasters, and even the CBC about both the CRTC’s Canadianization policies and the quantitative approaches used to meet its objectives. It also demonstrates the roles that activist groups and more established interests such as broadcasters have played in shaping Canadian broadcasting policy.

Full textAbstract:
This article outlines the evolution of sports broadcasting on Canadian television, focusing on the broadcast of the Olympic Games. I argue that history of the Olympics on national television exemplifies the evolution of the idea of public service television in Canada. Specifically, it reflects the delicate balance between the nation’s public and private broadcasters, whose relationship extends far beyond mere competition. The public service raison d’être and mission have nonetheless been called into question throughout the development of television. Incidentally, the values of the Olympic movement were also called into question in this period, during which the Games evolved from an all-amateur Olympiad to a fully commercial spectacle designed for (and by) television.

This article outlines impulses toward internationalism in women's programming during the twentieth century at two public service broadcasters: the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in Canada and the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) in Australia. These case studies show common patterns as well as key differences in the establishment of an international frame for the modern domestic sphere. Research conducted in paper and audio recording archives relating to nonfiction programming for women demonstrates pervasive tensions between women's international versus national solidarities. The article argues that these contradictions must be highlighted—rather than papered over in a simplistic understanding of such programming as reflecting a binary domestic ideology of private versus public, home versus world—to fully understand media history and cultural memory from a gendered perspective.

Full textAbstract:
Digital disruption is often characterized as the conflict between the exponential rate of change in technology, and the slower-paced, incremental rate of change in law, economy, policy, and society writ-large (Franklin, 2012). The rapid encroachment of over-the-top (OTT) content distribution raises policy issues concerning jurisdiction, access, pricing, consolidation of ownership, and source diversity (Holt, 2014), while undermining many of the traditional policy instruments. In this paper, we analyze Netflix’s strategic expansion and meteoric growth in Canada, and focus on a landmark event in Canadian broadcasting policymaking: the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s (CRTC) “Let’s Talk TV” hearings of 2013-2014. Through an examination of public documents, we analyze the ways Netflix is considered an opportunity, ally, or a threat by consumers, broadcasters, independent producers, and governments. We show that in a reprioritization of values, many of the principles that motivated legacy broadcasting policy are being sidelined by a consumerist approach that gives freer rein to streamed services. However, Netflix’s refusal to provide the Commission with information it was ordered to produce suggests the most serious disruption is to the notion that online video distribution can or should be regulated in the public interest.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing upon data collected during the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s 2011 Hockey Day in Canada broadcast, this paper examines how users of Twitter variously reproduced or contested this mediated television program. Three emergent themes from these data are discussed: the sociocultural importance of hockey to Canadians; the corporate sponsorship of Hockey Day in Canada; and the role of controversial commentator Don Cherry on the Canadian public broadcaster. These data suggest that new media can be a site for collective discussion on important sociopolitical issues, a conclusion that is discussed with reference to Scherer and Whitson’s (2009) argument that access to hockey broadcasts is a component of Canadian cultural citizenship; and Jenkins’ (2006a; 2006b) research on access to and participation in new media cultures.

Full textAbstract:
A 2015 investigation by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) into the involvement of Enbridge Inc. at the University of Calgary drew widespread media attention in Canada on issues of academic integrity and legitimacy as well as renewed attention to the increasing centrality of corporate dollars in public institutions. All of this was further embedded in a public consideration of climate change and the contested legitimacy of carbon corporate interests. A qualitative content media analysis of 70 published stories from Canadian news sources reveals a stark contrast between corporate and non-corporate media frames. Our analysis shows the parallel efforts of the University of Calgary, Enbridge, and corporate media to frame out the central issues of corporate obstructionism in public institutions and, equally, institutional corruption around the mandate, purpose, and intention of those public institutions.

Full textAbstract:
Background During the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau provided updates on the novel coronavirus and the government’s responses to the pandemic in his daily briefings from March 13 to May 22, 2020, delivered on the official Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) YouTube channel. Objective The aim of this study was to examine comments on Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau’s COVID-19 daily briefings by YouTube users and track these comments to extract the changing dynamics of the opinions and concerns of the public over time. Methods We used machine learning techniques to longitudinally analyze a total of 46,732 English YouTube comments that were retrieved from 57 videos of Prime Minister Trudeau’s COVID-19 daily briefings from March 13 to May 22, 2020. A natural language processing model, latent Dirichlet allocation, was used to choose salient topics among the sampled comments for each of the 57 videos. Thematic analysis was used to classify and summarize these salient topics into different prominent themes. Results We found 11 prominent themes, including strict border measures, public responses to Prime Minister Trudeau’s policies, essential work and frontline workers, individuals’ financial challenges, rental and mortgage subsidies, quarantine, government financial aid for enterprises and individuals, personal protective equipment, Canada and China’s relationship, vaccines, and reopening. Conclusions This study is the first to longitudinally investigate public discourse and concerns related to Prime Minister Trudeau’s daily COVID-19 briefings in Canada. This study contributes to establishing a real-time feedback loop between the public and public health officials on social media. Hearing and reacting to real concerns from the public can enhance trust between the government and the public to prepare for future health emergencies.

Full textAbstract:
For much of the past century there was broad acceptance of the stark contrast between the state’s involvement in the regulation of the content of broadcasting and its laissez-faire relationship with the columns of the press. The ‘failed market’ argument that substantiated regulation of the airwaves was difficult to counter. Fundamental changes in technology and media markets have, however, rendered the rationale open to challenge. Some aspects of the ‘failed market’, such as frequency scarcity, simply do not apply in the digital age. This article examines the nature of media regulation in New Zealand, noting its similarity to the dichotomous approach in Britain, Canada and Australia but also its divergence toward a more neoliberal market model that largely limits statutory oversight to matters that fall broadly into the categories of morals and ethics. It argues that, given the New Zealand government’s decision more than 15 years ago to forego regulation of ownership or the mechanisms that would serve the public good aspirations of a Reithian model, the continuing role of the state in regulation of broadcasting is questionable. A replacement model could be based on an effective regulatory body already present in the New Zealand media industry—the Advertising Standards Authority

Full textAbstract:
The scholarly literature on popular music has rarely addressed music awards shows and the role of the state with regard to popular music. In an effort to deepen what is known about both sets of issues, this article utilises the concept of a promotional state to examine Canada's Juno Awards. A promotional state employs state intervention to support domestic popular music, and the promotional state in Canada has been connected to the Junos in three ways (through Canadian content regulations, public broadcasting and government funding). The historical, political economic analysis in the article considers how the role of the promotional state has undergone changes with regard to the Juno Awards. There has been some ‘hollowing out’ of the promotional state's role since the Junos began in 1971, but the article contends that (in the interests of private capital) the role of this state has continued and even increased in some respects.

Full textAbstract:
Internships are a common component of journalism education in Canada and, in some cases, a requirement for graduation. I look at the history and development of internships, both paid and unpaid, in the English-language national television newsroom of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Canada’s public broadcaster. This account is informed by interviews with CBC staff, union officials, and former CBC interns as well as a survey of post-secondary education institutions that place interns with the CBC. I explore the establishment of unpaid internships at the CBC and the role of the Canadian Media Guild in creating the contract language defining the parameters of internship placements. Internships at the CBC are perceived by some of the Corporation’s staff as a responsibility of the public broadcaster, and representatives of the colleges and universities that participate in the program view the internships as valuable. I argue that the absence of institutional statistics on internships is a missed opportunity to deepen understanding of the role of internships at the CBC, and that systematic information-gathering by academic institutions regarding placements and offers of paid employment would be a useful resource in the debate over unpaid internships.

Today's fast paced and technology-enriched lifestyles require that many traditional educational seminars and workshops be transformed into “sound bites” of “edu-tainment” if Extension is to keep pace with clientele needs for specific and timely information that's useful and straight to the point. To remain a viable source of timely research-based information, Extension can stay ahead of this curve by utilizing today's technology to inform and educate the public on current issues or outbreaks. This presentation will highlight two such cases where technology delivery systems were utilized to maximize audience size and create an informed public in as short amount of time as possible. Public Service Announcements (PSA's) televised over New Jersey's Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), New Jersey Network (NJN), addressed water conservation and landscape issues during the recent northeastern drought. The potential viewing audience is over eight million people, including all of New Jersey and parts of Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, and Connecticut. The second case study will highlight a fully interactive CD-ROM on the Asian Long Horned Beetle (ALB) that was created within 12 months of the pest's discovery in Jersey City, N.J. This CD-ROM, containing curricula, PowerPoint presentations and evaluative tools, is currently being used throughout the northeast and in Canada for the most recent infestation of ALB. Filming for both Rapid Response efforts was done with a Sony DSR-500 DV Cam Camcorder and a Canon XL-1 Camcorder. Digital editing was completed on an Apple G4 running OS X with Avid Express Meridian Non-Linear Editing Software version 4.5 with 3D effects, Apple Final Cut Pro 3.0, Adobe After Effects 5.5, and PhotoShop 7.0. Stills were taken with a Sony Mavica and Nikon CoolPix digital cameras.

Full textAbstract:
The resilience model to disinformation (Humprecht et al., 2020, 2021) suggests that countries will differ in exposure and reactions to disinformation due to their distinct media, economic, and political environments. In this model, higher media trust and the use of public service broadcasters are expected to build resilience to disinformation, while social media use and political polarization undermine resilience. To further test and develop the resilience model, we draw on a four-country (the US, Canada, the UK, and France) survey conducted in February 2021. We focus on three individual-level indicators of a lack of resilience: awareness of, exposure to, and sharing of misinformation. We find that social media use is associated with higher levels of all three measures, which is consistent with the resilience model. Social media use decreases resilience to misinformation. Contrary to the expectations of the resilience model, trust in national news media does not build resilience. Finally, we consider the use of public broadcasting media (BBC, France Télévisions, and CBC). The use of these sources does not build resilience in the short term. Moving forward, we suggest that awareness of, exposure to, and reactions to misinformation are best understood in terms of social media use and left–right ideology. Furthermore, instead of focusing on the US as the exceptional case of low resilience, we should consider the UK as the exceptional case of high resilience to misinformation. Finally, we identify potential avenues to further develop frameworks to understand and measure resilience to misinformation.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to research as to how Twitter is influential as an electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM) communication tool and thereby affecting movie market. In present days, social media is playing an important role in connecting people around the globe. The technology has provided a platform in the social media space for people to share their experiences through text, photos and videos. Twitter is one such online social networking media that enables its users to send and read text-based messages of up to 140 characters, known as “tweets”. Twitter has nearly 200 million users and billions of such tweets are generated by users every other day. Social media micro-blogging broadcasting networks such as Twitter are transforming the way e-WOM is disseminated and consumed in the digital world. Twitter social behaviour for the Hollywood movies has been assessed across seven countries to validate the two basic blocks of the honeycomb model – sharing and conversation. Twitter behaviour was studied for 27 movies in 22 different cities of seven countries and for six genres with a total tweets of 9.28 million. The difference of Twitter social media behaviour was compared across countries, and “sharing” and “conversation” as two building blocks of the honeycomb model were studied. t-Test results revealed that the behaviour is different across countries and across genres. Design/methodology/approach – The objective of the paper is to analyse Twitter messages on an entertainment product (movies) across different regions of the world. Hollywood movies are released across different parts of the world, and Twitter users are also in different parts of the world. The objective is to hence validate “conversation” and “sharing” building blocks of the honeycomb model. The research is confined to analysing Twitter data related to a few Hollywood movies. The tweets were collected across nine different cities spanning four different countries where English language is prominent. To understand the Twitter social media behaviour, a crawler application using Python and Java was developed to collect tweets of Hollywood movies from the Twitter database. The application has incorporated Twitter application programming interfaces (APIs) to access the Twitter database to extract tweets according to movies search queries across different parts of the world. The searching, collecting and analysing of the tweets is a rather challenging task because of various reasons. The tweets are stored in a Twitter corpus and can be accessed by the public using APIs. To understand whether tweets vary from one country to another, the analysis of variance test was conducted. To assess whether Twitter behaviour is different, and to compare the behaviour across countries, t-tests were conducted taking two countries at a time. The comparisons were made across all the six genres. In this way, an attempt was made to obtain a microscopic view of the Twitter behaviour for each of the seven countries and the six genres. Findings – The findings show that the people use social media across the world. Nearly 9.28 million tweets were from seven countries, namely, USA, UK, Canada, South Africa, Australia, India and New Zealand for 27 Hollywood movies. This is indicative of the fact that today, people are exchanging information across different countries, that people are conversing about a product on social media and people are sharing information about a product on social media and, thus, proving the hypothesis. Further, the results indicate that the users in USA, Canada and UK, tweet more than the other countries, USA and UK being the highest in tweets followed by the Canada. On the other hand, the number of tweets in Australia, India and South Africa are low with New Zealand being the lowest of all the countries. This indicates that different countries’ users have different social media behaviour. Some countries use social media to communicate about their experience more than in some other country. However, consumers from all over the world are using Twitter to express their views openly and freely. Originality/value – This research is useful to scholars and enterprises to understand opinions on Twitter social media and predict their impact. The study can be extended to any products which can lead to better customer relationship management. Companies can use the Internet and social media to promote and get feedback on their products and services across different parts of the world. Governments can inform the public about their new policies, benefits of governmental programmes to people and ways to improve the Internet reach to more people and also for creating awareness about health, hygiene, natural calamities and safety.

Abstract: In February 2007, the CRTC released a set of decisions that constitute part of an emerging policy framework for a national all hazards, all media public alerting system in Canada. This most recent development can be seen as part of a wider effort on the part of the federal government and others to establish a next-generation emergency broadcasting system under the CANALERT initiative. For its part, the CRTC has had to negotiate the imperatives of competition policy as well as those of its role as guardian of the public good. Despite making some progress, the recent regulatory decisions represent a narrow intervention strategy that will not resolve many of the uncertainties that have delayed progress in this area. Further policy research is needed to contribute to a more extensive policy framework for public alerting in Canada.
Résumé: En février 2007, le CRTC a émis toute une série de décisions faisant partie d’un cadre réglementaire émergent pour un système national d’alerte publique au Canada intitulé all hazards, all media. Ces récents développements peuvent être conçus comme faisant partie d’un effort plus vaste de la part du gouvernement fédéral et d’autres parties impliquées visant à établir une nouvelle génération de système de radiotélédiffusion d’urgence sous l’initiative CANALERT. De son côté, le CRTC a dû négocier les impératifs d’une réglementation compétitive en plus de ceux associés à son rôle de guardien du Bien public. Les décisions réglementaires récentes, bien qu’elles offrent des progrès, représentent une stratégie d’intervention limitée qui n’aura pas pour effet de résoudre les multiples incertitudes ayant retardé les avancées dans ce domaine. Davantage de recherches en politiques et réglementations sont nécessaires afin de contribuer à la création d’un cadre de réglementation plus complet en ce qui concerne l’alerte publique au Canada.

Abstract: This paper tests the Aird Commission's claims to speak on behalf of the Canadian public in its landmark 1929 report against the public interventions on file in the National Archives of Canada. Its specific claims concerned radio's educational component, wavelength allotment, advertising, Canadian content, and state ownership. The paper reveals the extent to which the public interventions were inconclusive on the specific question of radio's nationalization. The paper argues that the Aird commissioners used the public hearings to legitimize their own commitment to a national, publicly owned broadcast system by depicting public opinion in its final report as consensual when in fact there was considerable division among interveners. Résumé: Cet article évalue les réclamations de la commission Aird (à savoir qu'elle représentait le public canadien dans son Rapport marquant de 1929) en comparant celles-ci aux interventions publiques classées dans les Archives nationales du Canada. Les réclamations spécifiques du Rapport portaient sur le rôle éducatif de la radio, l'allocation des ondes, la publicité, le contenu canadien, et la propriété d'état. Cet article révèle le degré auquel les interventions publiques étaient peu concluantes sur la question spécifique de la nationalisation de la radio. L'article maintient que les commissionnaires du Rapport Aird ont utilisé les audiences publiques pour légitimer leur propre attachement à un système de radiodiffusion national appartenant à l'état en décrivant l'opinion publique comme étant unanime, quand en réalité il y avait des divisions considérables parmi les intervenants.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The Government of Canada’s Online Streaming Act attempts to incorporate online streaming services into the “single system” of the Broadcasting Act. The legislation has been heavily criticized for a variety of reasons, and constructive debate has been hampered by the lack of a clearly defined policy rationale or public interest objective—in large part because the term “broadcasting” is ill-defined in the Internet context. Analysis: This article applies Georgist political economy to reinterpret Dallas Smythe’s concept of the “audience commodity” for the purpose of integrating emergent theories about the economics of attention and freedom of speech in the context of broadcasting and online media regulation. The principal argument is that a resource-centric view of human attention creates a technology-neutral conceptual basis for determining the scope of what is and is not media broadcasting. Conclusions and implications: The conceptual framework developed aligns the audience commodity concept with the contemporary business reality of content creators and helps draw some defining lines around the concept of “broadcasting” in the era of Internet platforms. Transitioning the fundamental basis for the definition of “broadcasting” from one of transmission methods to one of controlling the bottlenecks of attention would make it far easier to construct meaningful legislation in the public interest.

Abstract: Public broadcasting systems are in retreat across the planet. With the rise of multi-channel television systems and the Internet, many argue that public broadcasting is no longer necessary. I argue in this article that these arguments are wrong, and are based upon an inaccurate view of how and why public broadcasting developed as it did. In this article I chronicle the activities and arguments of Graham Spry and the other public broadcasting organizers in Canada in the 1930s, and their relationship with like-minded U.S. reformers who were engaged in a similar struggle at the same time. These advocates of public broadcasting saw it as a key aspect of a democratic society. In my view, this history sheds necessary light on the current dilemma concerning public broadcasting, and points the way toward a superior resolution to the current crisis. Résumé: Les systèmes de radiodiffusion publique battent en retraite partout sur la planète. Étant donné la montée dans le nombre de postes de télévision et de l'Internet, plusieurs affirment que la radiodiffusion publique n'est plus nécessaire. Dans cet article, je soutiens au contraire que ces critiques ont tort, car ils se fondent sur une conception fautive des pourquoi et comment du développement de la radiodiffusion publique. Je relève dans cet article les activités et les arguments de Graham Spry et d'autres organisateurs de la radiodiffusion publique au Canada aux années 30, et leur rapport avec leurs homologues réformistes aux États-Unis qui s'étaient engagés dans une lutte semblable au même moment. Ces tenants de la radiodiffusion publique envisagèrent celle-ci comme une composante clé d'une société démocratique. À mon avis, cette histoire éclaire le dilemme actuel concernant la radiodiffusion publique, et montre le chemin vers une résolution supérieure de la crise actuelle.

This commentary describes an approach for delivering television content to mobile phones in Canada using over-the-air broadcast signals. Over-the-air television broadcasting to mobile phones is available to our American neighbours but has not been implemented in Canada. We report on a test of mobile TV services, demonstrating access to U.S. signals from Canada. While it is technically feasible to deliver over-the-air mobile broadcasting in Canada, it is likely that vertical integration in the broadcasting and communications sectors is creating barriers to the development of this service. The commentary concludes with some thoughts on how mobile digital television services could be developed for Canadian viewers.Ce commentaire décrit une approche qui consisterait à diffuser en ondes ici au Canada un contenu télévisuel destiné aux téléphones mobiles. Nos voisins américains, contrairement à nous, ont la capacité de recevoir des émissions de télévision sur leurs téléphones mobiles. Dans cet article, nous présentons un test démontrant que les Canadiens peuvent eux aussi accéder aux signaux américains. Bien qu’il soit techniquement possible d’offrir ce type de service au Canada, il est probable que l’intégration verticale des secteurs de radiodiffusion et de communication soit une entrave à son développement. Pour conclure, ce commentaire offre quelques réflexions sur la manière dont on pourrait développer un tel service pour un public canadien.

It is crucial for the government to maintain the public’s trust during uncertain risk. The Canadian government had approximately three months to develop a risk management strategy before Canada saw its first case of coronavirus. This study aims to show how the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) portrays government decision making during the initial outbreak of Coronavirus in January 2020 through March 2020 exclusive by examining 10 articles per month. Over the course of the last three months, government officials were increasingly cited in the CBC news articles. Results from this study shows that as the condition in Canada worsened, more evidence-based decision making is present in the articles, especially during the month of March.

Abstract: This study of public-affairs programs suggests that Canadian television hardly functioned as a modern disciplinary apparatus in its initial years. In the early 1950s, Canadian broadcasters sought to stake out and strategize a "middle ground" between U.K. (information) and U.S. (entertainment) TV, featuring public-affairs programs that Canadians would actually choose to watch in a more or less competitive North American broadcast market. However, newsmagazines and traditional long-form documentaries consistently violated the early pedagogical protocols of Canadian television and thus call into question conventional notions of public-service broadcasting.These shows and the controversies they generated should make us rethink Eurocentric theories about public-service broadcasting as a quintessential disciplinary machine. Résumé: Cette étude sur les émissions d'affaires publiques suggère que la télévision canadienne ne fonctionnait guère comme appareil disciplinaire moderne pendant ses premières années. Au début des années cinquante, la radiodiffusion canadienne chercha une position intermédiaire stratégique entre celle des Britanniques (axée sur l'information) et celle des Américains (axée sur le divertissement), mettant l'accent sur une programmation d'affaires publiques qui intéresserait véritablement les téléspectateurs canadiens dans un marché de la radiodiffusion nord-américain passablement concurrentiel. Cependant, à l'époque, les téléreportages et les documentaires traditionnels à long métrage négligèrent les protocoles pédagogiques de la télévision canadienne et mirent ainsi en question les notions conventionnelles de la radiodiffusion du service public. Ces émissions et la controverse qu'elles suscitèrent devraient nous faire repenser les théories eurocentriques qui envisagent la radiodiffusion publique comme modèle de machine disciplinaire.

Media Economics: Applying Economics to New and Traditional Media does not confine itself to Canada, instead it takes a more global view that includes examples and cases from around the world. As a result, it could be appropriate as the core text for an introductory Media Economics course in a wide range of countries. Its inclusion of much Canadian material and its focus on questions of particular concern in Canada, such as cultural protectionism and public broadcasting, make it especially relevant for a Media Economics course at a Canadian school.

Abstract: How would the Canadian broadcasting system look if there were no CBC? What would be the programming mix? Would it be deficient, leading to market failure? Digitization, convergence, and the development of the Internet are transforming broadcasting. If there were no CBC, would we create such a public service broadcaster now in a broadcast system where numerous choices, including 64 specialty channels, are available by cable and direct broadcast satellite? Would the benefits of creating a CBC be greater than the costs? If we invented a CBC today, what would be its focus? How does this compare to CBC's current operations and to the vision of its President? Our examination of these questions will concentrate on CBC English television. Résumé: Quel aspect le système de radiodiffusion canadien aurait-il s'il n'y avait pas de Radio-Canada/CBC ? Quel éventail de programmes serait disponible ?

S'il n'y avait pas de Radio-Canada, créerions-nous aujourd'hui une telle chaîne du service public au sein d'un système où plusieurs choix sont déjà disponibles par câble et par satellite à diffusion directe, y compris soixante-quatre postes spécialisés ? Dans une pareille situation, les bénéfices d'une Société Radio-Canada seraient-ils suffisants pour en justifier le coût ?

Public service broadcasting (PSB) across the world is in crisis. This article examines how, if at all, normative academic ideals of public service broadcasting inform discussion about the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in Canadian news media. The researchers undertook a quantitative (N = 467) and qualitative (n = 29) content analysis of five years of Canadian news media coverage about the CBC published between January 1, 2009, and April 30, 2014. Their systematic analysis of this research found little connection was made between the CBC and discussions of public service values. This study contends that the pre-eminence of neoliberal discourse represents a serious assault to broadcasters with a public service ethos.Partout dans le monde, la radiodiffusion en tant que service public est en crise. Cet article examine comment les idéaux normatifs académiques de la radiodiffusion publique contribuent à alimenter le débat sur la Société Radio-Canada (SRC) dans lesmédias canadiens. Dans le cadre d’une analyse de contenu quantitative (N = 467) et qualitative (n = 29) portant sur cinq années de couverture médiatique canadienne à propos de CBC (1er janvier 2009 au 30 avril 2014), nous avons constaté qu’il y avait peu de relation entre les valeurs de la SRC et celles qui sont liées au service public dans les nouvelles diffusées par les médias canadiens. Cette recherche fait valoir la prééminence dans le débat d’un discours néolibéral qui soulève plusieurs enjeux éthiques quant à son adéquation avec les valeurs liées au service public en tant que tel.

Abstract: Early promoters of public-service broadcasting (PSB) in Canada
emphasized its democratic and nationalist merit. Of these twin pillars, only
nationalism appears to still be standing. In this article, the author surveys the vision of PSB that emerged in the national English-language print media during the 2005 CBC/Radio-Canada lockout and suggests that our peculiar brand of multicultural nationalism (which underestimates the divisions within civil society) has subsumed democratic values. Yet, she argues democratic principles—particularly those of access, participation, and publicness—are critically important to defending the relevance of PSB in the current environment of seemingly endless media choices and borderless technology.
Résumé : Les premiers promoteurs de la radiotélédiffusion de service public au Canada mettaient l’accent sur ses mérites démocratique et nationaliste. Aujourd’hui, de ces deux piliers, il semble que le mérite nationaliste soit le seul qui tienne bon. Dans cet article, l’auteur analyse la vision de la radiotélédiffusion de service public que l’on retrouve dans la presse écrite nationale de langue anglaise au cours du lock-out de CBC/Radio-Canada en 2005 et elle suggère que notre type spécifique de nationalisme multiculturel (qui sous estime les divisions de la société civile) a englobé les valeurs démocratiques. Toutefois, l’auteur affirme que ces principes démocratiques—en particulier ceux d’accessibilité, de participation et de valeurs publiques—sont extrêmement importants lorsqu’il s’agit de défendre la pertinence de la radiotélédiffusion de service public dans le contexte actuel de soi-disant choix infinis de médias et de technologies sans frontières.

Abstract: This presentation addresses the problems of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), situating them within the broader framework of the decline of public service, that is, both the concept of public service and the institutions which embody it. Using the CBC as an example -- and interpreting it in terms of the movement towards globalization -- this paper analyzes the mechanisms which lead to the dismantling of national public services. Finally, beyond the bureaucratic solutions too often imposed, it proposes some avenues of reform for public television and for public service in general, whose adaptation to the changing reality is essential to its credibility. Résumé: Cet article s'intéresse aux ennuis de la Société Radio-Canada en les situant dans le cadre plus large du déclin du service public, c'est-à-dire du concept de service public comme des institutions qui l'incarnent.

Il propose en conclusion, au delà des solutions bureaucratiques trop souvent imposées, quelques avenues de réforme de la télévision publique, et du service public en général, dont l'adaptation à la réalité changeante est essentielle à sa crédibilité.

Abstract: As a symbolic demonstration of the Government of Canada's attitude toward minorities' communication rights, the Multiculturalism Act (1988) and the Broadcasting Policy Reflecting Canada's Linguistic and Cultural Diversity (1985) are paradigms of state intervention which encourage the public production, programming, and protection of certain forms of ethnicity. After critically outlining the content and historical struggle around these two policies, this paper focuses on how multiculturalism and ethnic broadcasting privilege ethnocultural and racial "diversity'' as an integral aspect of Canadian society. "Colour-balanced'' media requires the actual implementation, supervision, and monitoring by the CRTC of section 3(1)(d)(iii) of the Canadian Broadcasting Act by people whose minds are open to the recognition, in practice, of equality rights for minority ommunicators in Canada. Résumé: La Loi sur le multiculturalisme canadien (1988) et La Politique sur la radiodiffusion reflétant la diversité linguistique et culturelle du Canada (1985) démontrent de manière symbolique le point de vue du gouvernement canadien sur les droits de communication des minorités. Ce sont des paradigmes d'intervention de l'état qui encouragent la production, la programmation et la protection publiques de certaines formes d'ethnicité. Cet article présente d'abord de manière critique le contenu de ces deux politiques et la lutte historique sous-tendant celles-ci. L'article se penche ensuite sur la manière dont le multiculturalisme et la radiodiffusion ethnique mettent en valeur la "diversité" ethnoculturelle et raciale comme aspect intégral de la société canadienne. Le CRTC met à exécution la section 3(1)(d)(iii) de la Loi sur la radiodiffusion canadienne et surveille son application pour s'assurer que les médias sont représentatifs des diverses ethnies du Canada. Les administrateurs du CRTC ont les esprits ouverts et reconnaissent, en pratique, les droits à l'égalité des communicateurs minoritaires au Canada.

Abstract: Questions about the social shaping of technology are explored by comparing direct broadcasting satellite policy in two very different countries. Canada has a vast geography, low population density, extreme ethnic and linguistic diversity, and close proximity and long-time cooperation with its neighbour, the United States. South Korea is centralized around Seoul, has a high population density, is relatively homogenous culturally and ethnically, and has a history of conflict with the country sharing a common border. The specific goals set for satellite broadcasting arising from these differing national contexts are explored. The paper also compares services and audiences in South Korea and Canada, and it asks what these cases can illustrate about the relationship between industry, policy, audiences, and the shaping of a new media technology. Résumé : Nous explorons la formation sociale de nouvelles technologies en comparant les politiques sur les satellites de radiodiffusion directe dans deux pays très différents. Le Canada a une vaste géographie, une population à faible densité et une très grande diversité ethnique et linguistique et il collabore depuis longtemps avec son voisin très proche, les États-Unis. La Corée du Sud, en revanche, est fortement centralisée autour de Séoul, densément peuplée et homogène tant du point de vue culturel qu’ethnique et elle partage une histoire de conflits avec son voisin du nord. Nous explorons les objectifs spécifiques pour les satellites de radiodiffusion directe fixés dans ces contextes nationaux si différents. Nous comparons aussi services et publics en Corée du Sud et au Canada, et nous demandons comment ces cas peuvent illustrer le rapport entre industrie, politique, public et la formation d’une nouvelle technologie de communication.

Background In public proceedings, professionalized discourses often reflect markedly different communicative strategies than those used by members of the general public.Analysis This article describes the findings of an aesthetic discourse analysis of public submissions to one of the largest public processes ever held by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), the Let’s Talk TV review of television regulation in Canada.Conclusions and implications Public submissions demonstrated heartfelt, affective, psychologically complex, and sometimes ambiguous expressions of desire. A routine tactic engaged in public submissions was “narrative aesthetics”—the implicit and explicit use of story structures to shape aspects of discourse legitimacy. The discursive landscape revealed gaps between public sensibilities and those legitimized by policy decisions, suggesting a territory of public experience more complex than the social realities reflected in policy discourse outcomes.RÉSUMÉContexte Souvent dans les rencontres publiques, les discours professionnels reflètent des stratégies communicatives très différentes de celles employées par le grand public.Analyse Cet article décrit les observations émanant d’une analyse du discours esthétique effectuée à partir de soumissions publiques dans le contexte de Parlons télé, un examen de la réglementation télévisuelle au Canada qui a été une des consultations publiques les plus importantes jamais menées par le Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des télécommunications canadiennes (CRTC).Conclusions et implications Bon nombre des soumissions publiques ont manifesté des expressions de désir sincères, affectifs, psychologiquement complexes et, parfois, ambigus. Ces soumissions ont communément employé la tactique de « l’esthétique narrative »—l’utilisation implicite et explicite de structures narratives pour accentuer certains aspects de leur légitimité discursive. Globalement, le paysage discursif était révélateur d’un écart entrem les sensibilités du public et celles légitimées dans le cadre des décisions politiques, avec un champ d’expérience de la part du public beaucoup plus complexe que les réalités sociales reflétées dans les diverses recommandations politiques.

In 1959, adult educator Alan M. Thomas outlined a pioneering concept of the active broadcast audience in Canada. Thomas affirmed that the audience’s potential to be a force for two-way communication and direct democracy had been unfulfilled. Twenty years later, Thomas put this concept into practice. As president and chair of the Canadian Association for Adult Education, he developed a participatory television series with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation called People Talking Back. The six-part series was an activist experiment in democratic decision-making to facilitate social action and learning outside of formal educational institutions. This Research in Brief brings together Thomas’ concept of the audience with his adult educational broadcasting scholarship and research on People Talking Back, all of which have remained relatively unrecognized by communication scholars.En 1959, l’éducateur d’adultes Alan M. Thomas a initié une approche pionnière envers le public des médias au Canada. Selon lui, on n’avait pas encore développé le potentiel de ce public d’être une force en communication bidirectionnelle et en démocratie directe. Vingt ans plus tard, Thomas a pu mettre son initiative en œuvre. En effet, en tant que président de la Canadian Association for Adult Education, il a créé avec la Société Radio-Canada une émission de télévision participative intitulée People Talking Back (« Les gens répondent »). Cette série activiste de six épisodes a expérimenté la prise de décision démocratique dans le but de faciliter l’apprentissage et l’action sociale de ses téléspectateurs hors du cadre d’un établissement d’enseignement formel. Cette Recherche en bref établit un lien entre la conception du public formulée par Thomas et l’étude de celui-ci relative à People Talking Back de la radiodiffusion appliquée à l’éducation des adultes. Les initiatives de Thomas ont reçu jusqu’à présent peu d’attention de la part des chercheurs en communication.

Abstract: Disenfranchised Aboriginal people in both Canada and Australia have had a long struggle to gain access to democratic institutions like the media. Aboriginal newspapers since the late nineteenth century in Australia, and early twentieth century in Canada, have played a crucial role in the symbolic reclamation of space for an Aboriginal public sphere. In this paper, we suggest that a combination of social and political events, along with particular policy environments, enabled the formation of Aboriginal public spheres through access to media technologies-in this case, the press. While broadcasting and multimedia may dominate the popular imaginary, it was print technology which set up the framework on which the emerging Aboriginal communications industry is built. Résumé: Les autochtones non affranchis tant au Canada qu'en Australie ont mené une longue lutte pour avoir accès à des institutions démocratiques comme les médias. Les journaux autochtones, depuis la fin du dix-neuvième siècle en Australie et le début du vingtième siècle au Canada, ont joué un rôle crucial dans la réclamation symbolique de l'espace nécessaire pour une sphère publique autochtone. Dans cet article, nous suggérons qu'une combinaison d'événements sociaux et politiques, ainsi que des politiques particulières, ont rendu possible la formation de sphères publiques autochtones en permettant aux autochtones l'accès à des technologies médiatiques-dans ce cas, la presse. Bien que ce soient la radiodiffusion et les multimédias qui prédominent dans l'imaginaire populaire, ce sont les technologies de presse qui sont à la base de l'industrie émergente de la communication autochtone.

After presenting a history of this function and giving an account of its relative scarcity, it describes the model of accountability set up at the SRC as revealed through an analysis of the annual reports from 1992-93 to 2000-01. Then it draws up a preliminary summary of the evolution of this form of journalistic self-regulation at the SRC.
Résumé : Depuis 1992, la Société Radio-Canada (SRC) s'est dotée d'un Bureau de l'ombudsman qui a le mandat d'enquêter sur les plaintes du public concernant les pratiques journalistiques. Le présent article propose d'abord de mieux définir la notion d'imputabilité journalistique. Après avoir dressé un historique de cette fonction et rendu compte de sa rareté relative, il décrit le modèle d'imputabilité mis en place à la Société Radio-Canada tel que le révèle une analyse des rapports annuels de 1992-93 à 2000-01. Enfin, il dresse un premier état des lieux de l'évolution de cette forme d'autorégulation journalistique à la SRC.

Abstract: In fall 2001, over 200 digital television channels were launched in Canada. One of those channels was WTSN (Women's Television Sports Network)-the world's first 24- hour television network exclusively dedicated to broadcasting women's sports. In the fall of 2003, however, WTSN ceased broadcasting operations. This analysis of CRTC policies and personal interview data with Canadian media members argues that while the demise of WTSN can be attributed to the unfortunate pitfalls associated with early digital television rollout and cultural policies, the network's downfall is best explained in substantially more ideological terms. From the outset, WTSN entered uncharted waters in the Canadian television sport landscape, attempting to showcase women's sports to a predominantly female audience-a demographic that has yet to materialize for mainstream sports programming.Résumé : En automne 2001 au Canada a lieu la lancée de plus de 200 chaînes de télévision numériques. Une de ces chaînes est WTSN (Women's Television Sports Network), le premier réseau de télévision au monde entièrement dédié à la diffusion des sports féminins 24 heures sur 24. WTSN, cependant, disparaît des ondes dès l'automne 2003. Cette analyse des politiques du CRTC et d'entrevues menées par l'auteur auprès de professionnels des médias canadiens soutient que, bien qu'on puisse attribuer l'échec de WTSN à certaines politiques culturelles ainsi qu'aux problèmes reliés à l'expansion trop hâtive de la télévision numérique à l'époque, on peut aussi tirer avantage d'une approche plus idéologique pour expliquer la disparition de ce réseau. En effet, en offrant les sports pour femmes à un public composé majoritairement de femmes, WTSN dès ses débuts s'est aventuré dans un territoire inconnu par l'univers des sports sur les ondes canadiennes, la majorité des femmes n'ayant pas encore montré un intérêt soutenu pour la programmation sportive à grand public.

Background This article employs a political economic analysis of the CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada (HNIC) program. It critically investigates both the recent Rogers Communications takeover of the popular public broadcasting program and the history of HNIC’s gendered audiences. Analysis Utilizing a feminist version of Dallas Smythe’s theory of the audience commodity, the author argues that the Rogers takeover represents the most recent manifestation of the complicity between patriarchy and capitalism that has persisted throughout the history of HNIC. Conclusion and implications It is also argued that the general political economy of HNIC represents a site of analysis that has been largely ignored by communications scholars, and that the program’s significance as a Canadian institution thus merits further critical inquiry. RÉSUMÉ Contexte Cet article réalise une analyse politico-économique de Hockey Night in Canada (« Soirée du hockey au Canada», CBC). Il effectue une évaluation critique du rachat par Rogers Communications de cette émission populaire sur la chaîne publique ainsi que celle de l’histoire des publics sexués de l’émission. Analyse L’auteur recourt à une adaptation féministe de la théorie sur la part d’audience telle que développée par Dallas Smythe afin de soutenir que le rachat de Hockey Night in Canada par Rogers représente l’instance la plus récente de la complicité entre patriarcat et capitalisme qui existe depuis le tout début de l’émission. Conclusion et implications L’auteur soutient d’autre part que l’économie politique générale de Hockey Night in Canadareprésente un objet d’analyse largement ignoré par les chercheurs en communication et que l’émission mérite un examen approfondi du fait de son importance en tant qu’institution canadienne.

Abstract: The CBC/Radio Canada is in a policy trap which is endemic to all cultural policy today. A casualty of the 1990s policy focus on the cultural industries, the traditional public interest discourse has failed to gain a toehold in arguments favouring a continued state role in the development of cultural capital. This paper explores a cultural capital perspective and argues for a closer link with and co-ordination between education and culture in policy fields at both the theoretical and operational levels. The paper concludes that the instrumental utility of a cultural capital approach is ultimately too limiting. What is needed is a theoretical shift from public interest rhetoric to a democratic rights-based discourse. Such a shift in the conceptual underpinnings of cultural policy implies radical decentralization and deconcentration of control within the CBC. New models of democratic cultural governance are needed to reclaim public broadcasting. Résumé: Radio-Canada/CBC s'empêtre dans des politiques communes à toute culture politique aujourd'hui. Le discours traditionnel sur l'intérêt public, victime des politiques des années 90 axées sur les industries culturelles, n'a pas réussi à s'infiltrer dans les arguments favorisant une participation soutenue de l'état dans le développement du capital culturel. Cet article examine une perspective appuyant cette idée de capital culturel et prône un rapport et une coordination plus étroites entre éducation et culture dans les politiques, autant au niveau théorique qu'opérationnel. Cet article conclut qu'une approche prônant l'idée de capital culturel a en fin de compte une utilité instrumentale trop limitée. Il faudrait plutôt changer d'approche, passant d'une rhétorique défendant l'intérêt public à un discours démocratique fondé sur les droits de la personne. Une telle modification dans la conception des politiques culturelles entraînerait l'appui d'une décentralisation et déconcentration radicales à Radio-Canada. En somme, pour reconquérir la radiodiffusion publique, il nous faudrait de nouveaux modèles de gouvernance culturelle démocratique.

Abstract: This article examines the concept of labour convergence in the context of two significant labour struggles in the Canadian communication industry: the 2005 lockouts at Canada’s national public broadcaster, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), and at Canada’s second-largest telecommunications company, the Telus Corporation. It begins with a brief analysis of convergence as a technological and institutional process, specifically as it applies to communication technology, the communication arena, and communication companies, and as a myth that contains utopian visions of universal connectedness. The article then describes how labour is deploying its own form of convergence, a form that conflicts with and sometimes “bites back” at the communication industry and its dream of friction-free capitalism.
Résumé : Cet article examine le concept de convergence de la main-d’œuvre dans le contexte de deux conflits de travail importants dans l’industrie canadienne des communications : les lock-out de 2005 à la Société Radio-Canada, radiodiffuseur public national du Canada, et à Telus Corporation, deuxième plus grande compagnie de télécommunications au Canada. L’article commence par une brève analyse de la convergence en tant que processus technologique et institutionnel — dans la mesure où elle porte sur les technologies en communications, le domaine des communications et les compagnies en communications — et en tant que mythe consistant en visions utopiques de connexité universelle. L’article décrit ensuite comment la main-d’œuvre syndiquée déploie sa propre forme de convergence, forme qui s’oppose à — et parfois agresse — l’industrie des communications et son rêve d’un capitalisme sans friction.
