Election broadcasting in Canada / Frederick J. Fletcher, editor.: Z1-1989/2-41-21E-PDF

"Volume 21 examines some major aspects of election broadcasting in Canada: the history; the legal framework; the probable impact of the recently established Canadian all-news cable service, Newsworld, which has yet to cover a federal election; the potential of cable television in general, with special attention to the role of community and specialty channels; the regulatory issues surrounding political broadcast advertising; and the special problems of election broadcasting in the North. The studies examine important aspects of free time, paid time and, to a lesser extent, news and public affairs coverage of campaigns"--Preface, page xviii.
