Power and Betrayal in the Canadian Media, Updated
By David Taras. Broadview Press, 2001. $24.95
The Canadian media, which in many respects are this society's "meeting ground," is in the midst of a profound shift. The CBC is threatened by budget cuts and technological change, and the newspaper industry has fallen into the hands of a few powerful individuals. Huge global corporations and a vast communications revolution are dramatically altering the nature of news and entertainment.
This book argues that unless action is taken, these changes will narrow our access to information and damage our capacity to communicate with each other. Power and Betrayal in the Canadian Media is a sweeping exploration of the impact of changes on our society, politics and culture.
