Mapping Global Media Policy: Concepts, Frameworks, Methods
It is now recognized by scholars, policymakers and media activists that the environment in which media and communication policy is “made” is undergoing profound transformations. Trying to track, describe and analyze these transformations poses a stimulating challenge, particularly to scholars who see their work as an intervention in policy debates. This article seeks to address what we see as the most difficult yet necessary first steps towards m…
Dreaming in Technicolor: The Future of PSB in a World Beyond Broadcasting
In the new media environment, the public broadcaster's primary purpose should be to operate at the cutting edge; it must make itself indispensable to anyone who wants to be informed, educated and entertained. And as we move towards a post-broadcasting environment, it must think of itself as a full-service public communicator
Part V: Broadening media discourses
The 2005 Graham Spry Memorial Lecture Making Media: Creating the Conditions for Communication in the Public Good
Contemporary media in all their guises support and sustain an unprecedented platform for communication and public discussion - for those who are able to participate. Creating an environment in which media can flourish is the domain of public policy. The media policy framework and the possibilities that it provides are terribly misunderstood. That does not mean that media policy should be cast aside. Using a range of historical and contemporary is…
The Origins fo Civil Society Involvement in the WSIS
The World Summit on the Information Society and Its Legacy for Global Governance
The World Summit on the Information Society has highlighted a range of questions about issues and process that characterize communication governance at the start of the 21st century. Without having resolved them, it indicates a new paradigm for global governance generally, in which information and communication issues are central, and in which new actors, particularly global civil society, will have to be involved
The WSIS as a Political Space in Global Media Governance
We are firmly convinced that we are collectively entering a new era of enormous potential, that of the Information Society and expanded human communication. In this emerging society, information an
The Dilemma of Social Demand: Shaping Media Policy in New Civic Contexts
The new media environment is seamless, global and, apparently, boundless in possibilities. Popular misconceptions and dominant discourses about the end of regulation notwithstanding, however, activity within this environment is still based on rules and likely to remain so. The rules are changing, of course, but more significantly, the way the rules are made is changing. New global institutions like the WTO are the site of monumental battles betwe…
Viewers on Television: Between Policy and Uses
Drawing policy studies and audience studies closer together requires that the individual be conceptualized as the subject of both political and media apparatuses. This article explores such a conceptualization in the Quebec context, working with a group of activist viewer-citizens to evaluate the content and form of the television programming available to them, on the one hand, and the usefulness of some key Canadian broadcast policies, on the ot…

Public Broadcasting and the Global Framework of Media Democratization
Public broadcasting remains a key institution of democratization in the context of globalization, marked by the shift from the national to the transnational as the site of media power and, increasingly, media activity. In the face of rampant commercialization of media, public broadcasting is essential to the promotion of pluralism in the public sphere. In a multichannel environment, public broadcasting must find its particular place. At the same …

Influencing public policy on Canadian broadcasting
The policy‐making process in Canadian broadcasting involves a wide array of groups from institutional, industrial and sociocultural sectors. The policy review leading up to adoption of a new federal Broadcasting Act in 1991 saw these groups deploy a range of tactics in attempting to influence broadcasting policy in line with their respective interests. In this article, we report on the relative influence of different categories of actors with reg…
The Role of Public Consultation in Shaping the Canadian Broadcasting System
Canadian broadcasting is characterized by a tradition of public debate over policy issues that takes place through a range of formal and less formal consultation mechanisms. In a study of the broadcasting policy review process of 1985–1991, the transparency of public debate was seen to be essential in giving access to social groups who would otherwise have little influence on the process
Broadcasting Policy, Nationbuilding and Constitutional Politics in Canada and Quebec
Les médias de communication, notamment la radiodiffusion, ont toujours joué un rôle important dans les enjeux déterminant la place du Québec à l'intérieur du Canada. Cette question est examinée dans le contexte du débat sur le renouveau constitutionnel des dernières années. Il est démontré que les questions de communication et de culture, et plus précisément celles qui touchent aux médias, sont fondamentales au processus de définition et d'élabor…
Cultural Development and the Open Economy: A Democratic Issue and a Challenge to Public Policy
The context of economic globalization poses an unprecedented challenge to public policy in the area of culture, as the fragile balance between economics and culture, formerly ensured by the state, is called into question. Far from indicating that the state no longer has a role to play, the imperatives of cultural development demand a dynamic approach to public policy. The democratic stake of cultural development is to re-establish the citizen’s r…

The Role of the Public in Broadcasting Policy-Making and Regulation: Lesson for Europe from Canada
Broadcasting can be conceptualized as a complex activity taking place in the public sphere and involving actors situated in the state, the economy and civil society. The strategies and interests of each of these intersect in the sphere of broadcasting policy development and execution, particularly with respect to the question of regulation. In Canada, various mechanisms have been set in place over the years to provide for articulation of the publ…

Since then, government action, public debate and grassroots social intervention have changed the face of French media and especially their relationship to the State. Media-related events and phenomena have been in many ways the most telling symbols of the nature and quality of the changes France…
The Media in Quebec: Towards Teaching Critical Media Practice
Any critical social practice must deal with a range of communication problems. Practices like teaching and journalism depend on the successful meeting of the teacher's or journalist's active intention, with the interests of members of the class or audience. The content of a course, like that of a news article or television report, is meaningful to the extent that it addresses these interests

Missed Opportunities: The Story of Canada’s Broadcasting Policy
In Missed Opportunities, Marc Raboy reveals the short-sightedness behind the traditional view of Canadian broadcasting policy as an instrument for promoting a national identity and culture. He argues that Canadian broadcasting policy has served as a political instrument for reinforcing a certain image of Canada against insurgent challenges, such as maintaining the image of Canada as a political entity distinct from the United States and acting ag…
