Geographies of the News
Mapping the Geography of Online News
This article is a product of the Geography of News Project, whose express purpose is to assess the Internet’s potential to foster an expanded, and more international, news geography. The article begins by discussing the relationship between news and geography, then describes and analyzes the results of a news-flow study of the websites of three international newspapers with extensive online editions: The Times of London, Libération of Paris, and …
Spreading the News
As part of a research program called CHAMP (Canadian Health and Media Project) devoted to examining health literacy in Canadian daily newspapers, and operating from a theoretical framework that posits journalism as a practice of representation, this article is based on a series of formal interviews with English-language and French-language health reporters. The interviews sought answers to three central questions about health reportage: how do jo…
The View From Here
This paper posits journalists as cartographers who, through their reporting, produce a news geography which maps the world and sketches the contours and connections of their communities within that world. Employing a methodology adapted to the analysis of newspaper sites on the World Wide Web, this paper reports on an intensive news-flow study of the on-line editions of Canada's three national newspapers—the Globe and Mail, the National Post and …

Commentary
This commentary suggests that Canadian journalism schools need to redefine their mission from serving the twin masters of the news industry and the university to serving journalism in all its emerging forms. It suggests that this can be done by more closely adhering to the university's demands of research, teaching, and community service, and more specifically, by adopting a more critical and theoretical research-oriented stance. This approach wi…
Increasing circulation? a comparative news‐flow study of the Montreal Gazette 's hard‐copy and on‐line editions
International news‐flow research has repeatedly identified significant imbalances in the global exchange of news among regions of the world. With the emergence of thousands of news sites on the World Wide Web, and the corresponding ability of news audiences to access these sites, the Internet offers the technological capacity to globalize media content. This paper seeks to test that possibility by exploring the way one Canadian daily newspaper, t…

Putting theory to practice
There has been considerable debate over the proper place of journalism education within the academy. We argue that programmes which compromise between vocational training and a broader programme of study based in the liberal arts remain unsatisfactory because they put too much onus on students themselves to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Taking up James Carey's challenge to more precisely locate the object of study, we believe journa…
Rich Media, Poor Democracy
Invoking Public Support for Public Broadcasting
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 natio…
The Politics of World Communication
Founded in 1974, the Canadian Journal of Communication (CJC) aims to publish Canadian research and scholarship in the field of communication studies. The purview of the journal is the entire field of communication studies as practiced in Canada or with relevance to Canada
The Audiovisual Locations Industry in Canada
The purpose of this article is to characterize the audiovisual locations industry in Canada, an industry which attracted $500 million in direct spending by foreign film and television producers in 1994. Two questions are posed: What is the locations industry? and What is its significance as an emerging cultural industry in the Canadian context? The paper first situates the locations industry in its theoretical, historical, and sociopolitical cont…
