Based on over ten years of experience with online publishing, the authors provide suggestions on how more widespread adoption of online publishing might be achieved in Canadian social …
Canadian Scholarly Journals at a Technological Crossroads
This article discusses the dynamics of a transition from print to online publishing by Canadian social science and humanities (SSH) journals. It reports the results of a survey of publishing practice, financial operations, and attitudinal orientation to the online environment.

The data were collected by means of a questionnaire and telephone interviews. The results of the survey are discussed in terms of realities of online publishing and some p…

Mass Communication
This paper offers a new definition of mass communication, one that embraces the Internet and its capacity to allow communication between individuals on a mass scale; decentralized broadcasting by means of the Web; and the traditional, centralized media of mass communication such as broadcasting and newspapers. It argues that such a redefinition affirms public access and relegates centralized broadcasting to a more appropriate, particular type of …
Introduction
This introductory essay examines the state of Canadian communications scholarship. It maintains that the dominant stance taken by Canadian communications scholars is rooted in a leftist critique of the media that has become both detached from the media and disengaged from informed strategic action. In the context of a complex media environment, the paper argues for a refocusing on communication itself, an embrace of professional training, and, in…
Fogo Island Goes Digital
An open-source software-based, on-line version of the Canadian Journal of Communication has been created by a group of scholars and students. This paper casts this activity as social science R&D with roots in development communications; as a viable alternative to control by aggressive profit-seeking commercial journal publishers; and as a transferable technology to other scholar-controlled journals. It describes the software used, the capacity of…

Intellectual Property, Moral Rights, and Trading Regimes
Intellectual property law and international trading regimes are two salient areas of policy that have a profound impact on the operations of cultural industries such as publishing. This paper reviews the distinctive attributes of seven different forms of intellectual property protection, pointing the way for publishers to expand their thinking about protecting and exploiting their investment in intellectual property, especially in these times of …
Of Culture, the Economy, Cultural Production, and Cultural Producers
The task of this orientation paper is to connect the explorations of cultural industries that are contained in the following papers to a concern with cultural development broadly defined in Canada’s opening economy. It addresses this task in Parts I and II by defining a series of connecting terms and reviewing the adequacy of the relevant literature. Part I outlines the nature of culture and cultural development, four models of cultural developme…
The Socioeconomy of Scholarly and Cultural Book Publishing
Creating Ideas and Information
Globalization and Internationalization in Publishing
The motive force behind the global production and distribution of media products is to be found in a translation of basic human rights into free flow of information doctrine and a variety of associated legal and policy provisions. The workings of these mechanisms can be seen in the form of evolving publishing activities in Eastern Europe. On the other hand, a subdominant trend towards international exchange of culturally distinctive work can also…

Publishers, Governments, and Learning Materials
The 1984 withdrawal of U.S. contributions to UNESCO has thrust the issue of who controls the creation of information, and who therefore has audience access and to what effect before the public. While the debate there centres around the reporting of news, the underlying issues are broader. In their broad form they are manifest in the educational sphere. Just as news is organized for consumption by a very few very large corporations and disseminate…
