Home Newswire About Us Donate ... Archives Headlines Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Saturday, July 6, 2002 by Reuters Canadian Media Ownership Too Concentrated - Poll by Jeffrey Hodgson TORONTO - A majority of Canadians believe the country's media industry is in the hands of too few players and say the government should take action to deal with the issue, according to a poll released on Friday. The survey, sponsored by one of the country's largest media unions, was taken just days following the controversial firing of a leading newspaper publisher after he called for the resignation of Prime Minister Jean Chretien, a friend of the family that controls media conglomerate CanWest Global Communications Corp. . The poll by Strategic Communications Inc. also found almost half of those surveyed believe media owners exercise too much control over the political opinions expressed by individual journalists in the newspapers they write for. "Canadians are deeply concerned about the concentration of media ownership in this country and the effects it is having on their news flow. They want something done about it, and they want the federal government to do something about it," said Peter Murdoch, a vice-president with the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada. Media ownership and editorial interference have become hot-button issues in Canada following last month's firing of Ottawa Citizen Publisher Russell Mills by CanWest.

Let us know Canadian Media Deregulation Provides Insight Into FCC Proposal Critics of consolidation say the integrity of the news is being undermined by the effects of concentrated ownership Dan Luzadder Posted: 2003-06-10 Editors Note:This story has been updated to correct several errors. Click here to see the original version and the correction. The Federal Communications Commission is poised to unveil new media ownership rules June 2 that some experts believe may change the face of American journalism. The new rules would allow media companies to own television stations and newspapers in the same cities. The FCC barred companies from owning newspapers and TV stations in the same market in 1975, but big media owners like the Tribune Co Knight Ridder MediaNews Group and the New York Times say it's time to lift that ban. They argue that cross-ownership makes for better journalism: Staffers working for companies that own newspapers and TV stations in the same market can work together to create richer, multimedia news reports that can then run in the company's paper and on their stations and Web sites. Advocates say the synergies of convergence lead to cost savings, increased advertising revenues and greater efficiencies.

It was produced for the union's October 2004 national convention and was initiated by a resolution to the CEP National Convention in 2002. The National Executive Board mandated a committee to study the issues and produce a draft policy. The members of the committee included both elected officers and rank and file members from across the country who work in media industries, and CEP staff members. The CEP Media Policy sets out recommendations on the critical responsibility of the media to inform Canadians on the broadest range of our society’s activities. It proposes changes to ensure working environments which allow those entrusted with that responsibility to do so fairly, accurately and without fear of reprisal. And it encourages the nurturing of a vibrant Canadian voice, within our broadcasting, print and new media sectors.

U of T Home Corus Entertainment funds chair and women in business program Chair investigates media convergence and global competition by Jamie Harrison Sept. 5, 2002 A $2-million gift from Canadian media and entertainment company Corus Entertainment will fund a chair in communications strategy at the University of Toronto's Joseph L. Rotman School of Management. The company will also fund a scholarship at the Rotman School in memory of late Toronto businesswoman Judy Elder, who died in March. The chair, known as the Corus Entertainment Chair in Communications Strategy, will investigate the recent trends towards convergence in the Canadian media and how, in the emerging knowledge economy, there is a critical need for Canadian media companies to look beyond their own borders and compete globally. Helping Canada understand these changes and position itself in the global new world order will be at the heart of the chair's work. Toronto, with the fourth-largest media concentration in North America, is among the fastest growing regions in terms of software development. The region's information technology and telecommunications cluster - a mixture of software, communications, advertising, media and entertainment industries - ranks ahead of both New York and Los Angeles.

Monday, March 22, 2004 Stopping the Big Sell-Off Friends of Canadian Broadcasting alarmed by proposed changes to foreign ownership regulations in the Canadian Cable Industry By Jonathan Tan, Uniter Editor-In-Chief There's an ongoing debate about the health of the Canadian media that goes something like this: one side says that the concentration of ownership in Canadian media dangerously limits the diversity of voices in the public sphere; the other side points out that while we do have large media companies that own multiple media outlets including various mediums, they are still facing more competition than ever before, meaning there are more voices than ever. This is a tricky debate, because in some senses, both sides are right. The fragmentation of the media market, through the expansion of satellite, cable and Internet networks, has given citizens or consumers a near unlimited amount of sources of media content. So if the debate over convergence and ownership concentration comes down to a shear numbers game of counting how many voices the public has access to than the owners have it, there are more voices now than ever before.

Read the TNG Canada brief in new window TNG Canada is unequivocal about what must be done to preserve diversity in this nation's news media: Restore a 1980s ban on cross-ownership of newspapers and broadcast outlets; Cap at 30 per cent of overall market share the level of broadcast or print media ownership by any company or related corporate entity; TNG Canada calls on the committee, headed by Senator Joan Fraser, to recommend strong action to ensure Canadian journalism serves public, not corporate, interests. The Transport and Communications Committee, which has been studying media concentration for two years, is expected to release its final report in June. With the development of its CanWest New Service and the removal last July of the National Post from CP, CanWest has already laid the groundwork to withdraw most or all of its vast array of media properties from the co-operative.

You have heard here, and you have seen for yourselves that Canada's media industries have been going through a rapid transformation, in technology, in ownership, and in convergence. Private broadcasters say they need to pursue convergence in order to remain strong. But the Canadian industry is more than just the privates. And if indeed we want a strong industry, then the whole industry needs to be strong - both private and public. Why is this important? Because a healthy media depends on multiple voices, different opinions. It's one thing people in this country have always been proud of about their media. When Canadians have access to the widest range of stories and issues, covered from different points of view, they can judge for themselves what is important to them. They can decide what they think about the issues that affect their lives. Without a balance of multiple viewpoints - from both public and private institutions - Canadians lose confidence in what they are told; they lose faith in their institutions.
