Download or read book Connection Community Content written by Canada. Information Highway Advisory Council and published by Canadian Government Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Canadian government created an advisory council to provide advice on 15 issues related to development of a Canadian strategy for the information highway. Such a strategy would be based on the objectives of job creation, reinforcement of Canadian sovereignty and identity, and ensuring universal access at reasonable cost. In addition, the strategy would be guided by four operating principles: competition, privacy protection/network security, collaborative private/public sector development, and an interconnected and interoperable network of networks. This report reviews the council's deliberations and conclusions on those issues, in chapters covering the nature of the information highway, competitiveness and job creation, Canadian content and culture, the human dimension, learning and training, research and development, and implementation. The report concludes with the council's recommendations. Appendices include a glossary.

Book Synopsis Media, Structures, and Power by : Edward A. Comor
Download or read book Media, Structures, and Power written by Edward A. Comor and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2011-10-30 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Media, Structures, and Power is a collection of the scholarly writing of Canada's leading communication and media studies scholar, Robert E. Babe. Spanning almost four decades of scholarship, the volume reflects the breadth of Babe's work, from media and economics to communications history and political economy. Babe famously characterized Canadian scholars' distinctive contribution to knowledge as uniquely historical, holistic, and dialectical. The essays in Media, Structures, and Power reflect this particular strength. With a clarity of vision, Babe critiques mainstream economics, Canadian government policy, and postmodernist thought in social science. Containing introductions and contributions by other prominent scholars, this volume situates Babe's work within contemporary scholarship and underscores the extent to which he is one of Canada's most prescient thinkers. His interdisciplinary analyses will remain timely and influential well into the twenty-first century.
