Description
Communication History in Canada is an edited collection of primary sources - many written by Canadian academics teaching at Canadian institutions. Offering a distinctive blend of history, geography, government, economics, and biculturalism, the readings reflect the fact that communication systems and the mass media evolved differently in Canada than in either the United States or Europe. This new edition contains two new sections: one covering the European origins of communication history in Canada and one covering the Internet and 'new' media. Providing the historical foundation for a thorough contextual analysis of modern-day media and communication in Canada, Communication History in Canada is essential reading for any student in the field.
