Description
Media Divides offers a comprehensive democratic audit of communications law and policy. Using the concept of communications rights as a framework for analysis in five key domains - media, access, the Internet, privacy, and copyright - leading analysts reveal that Canada's failure to respond adequately to a host of pressures and developments has left its citizens with unequal access to the nation's communications system and the freedom of expression it promises.
A comprehensive, up-to-date account of the democratic deficits in Canada's communications law and policy.
