Guide to the Canadian News Media

Guide to Canadian News Media, 2/e combines basic data with professional insights to provide a concise overview of Canadian news media--their history, structure, methods, personnel, and impact on society--as well as a discussion of major issues in contemporary journalism. The second edition expands on how technology changes the way news is produced and delivered. The author's unique experience as a major participant in the print and broadcast news industry, combined with his role as an educator of young journalists since 1981, make this book much more than a text. It is a lively and, at times, personal account of one of our most influential industries.
