Abstract: "Since the inception of broadcasting in Canada, policy makers, scholars, and social activists have wrestled with the problem of foregrounding the representation of Canadian ways of life--or Canadian ""culture""--in broadcast programming. Yet with every technological advance, every regulatory adjustment, the difficulties in meeting this goal seem to multiply. Employing a critical political economy of mass communication, this work locates this problem in the institutional structure of regulation. It illustrates that the institutional relationships deployed in broadcast regulation are derived from an historical set of relationships between the Canadian state and private capital and that, through time, these relationships have come to be expressed in the regulatory apparatus that gives form to the broadcasting system. |
