M Canada iv ABSTRACT Agenda-setting ranks among the most studied phenomena in communications research. A factor behind its popularity has been the nature of its research design that incorporates both media content and public opinion in a manner that yields an observable and empirically testable effect. Despite the model's importance, there has been little systematic evaluation of the underlying research design and, in particular, the role of media within the media/transfer of salience/public opinion equation. How media should be conceptualized within the research design has growing importance to the broader study of media effects due to the divergence of media sources and the erosion of mainstream media influence. The thesis addresses these issues by first conducting a meta-analysis that focuses on the research designs in agenda-setting research published in the last 25 years in major journals. The meta-analysis supports the hypothesis that media is often underconceptualized in research designs, and offers a new approach—the media-centric model—that addresses key weaknesses concerning the proximity of media to audience/respondents and other factor that undermine research design validity. The media- centric model was tested over a five-month period in the Waterloo region of Ontario. The model includes formulas for weighting of media content based on market research and other audience demographic data. The study confirmed the presence of an agenda-setting effect, and also confirmed the importance of proximity of news content and, in particular, the importance V of local news media coverage that is often overlooked in agenda-setting research. The presence of the agenda-setting effect was not significantly strengthened by the application of audience demographic data, but other factors from the model that enhanced proximity of content did indicate significant results, but were qualified by the nature of key news events. The results provide an important contribution to conceptualizing the role of media not only in agenda-setting research designs but also in other areas of study into primary media effects within the context of an expanding universe of mediated sources of news and information. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract iv List of Figures viii List of Tables ix Acknowledgements xi Introduction 1 Chapter One: Reviewing the development of the media agenda setting research model 11 A.

  • The Joy of Autism: Part 2
    However, even autistic individuals who are profoundly disabled eventually gain the ability to communicate effectively, and to learn, and to reason about their behaviour and about effective ways to exercise control over their environment, their unique individual aspects of autism that go beyond the physiology of autism and the source of the profound intrinsic disabilities will come to light. These aspects of autism involve how they think, how they feel, how they express their sensory preferences and aesthetic sensibilities, and how they experience the world around them. Those aspects of individuality must be accorded the same degree of respect and the same validity of meaning as they would be in a non autistic individual rather than be written off, as they all too often are, as the meaningless products of a monolithically bad affliction." Based on these extremes -- the disabling factors and atypical individuality, Phil says, they are more so disabling because society devalues the atypical aspects and fails to accommodate the disabling ones. That my friends, is what we are working towards -- a place where the group we seek to "help," we listen to. We do not get offended when we are corrected by the group. We are the parents. We have a duty to listen because one day, our children may be the same people correcting others tomorrow. In closing, about assumptions, I post the article written by Ann MacDonald a few days ago in the Seattle Post Intelligencer: By ANNE MCDONALD GUEST COLUMNIST Three years ago, a 6-year-old Seattle girl called Ashley, who had severe disabilities, was, at her parents' request, given a medical treatment called "growth attenuation" to prevent her growing.

  • Rights Ownership of the Top 100 Tv Programs in Canada (English Channels) According to Ama
    Review of the Canadian Communications TELUS Communications Inc. Legislative Framework January 11, 2019 Appendix 6 RIGHTS OWNERSHIP OF THE TOP 100 TV PROGRAMS IN CANADA (ENGLISH CHANNELS) ACCORDING TO AMA By: Mario Mota, Boon Dog Professional Services Inc. For: TELUS November 2017 Review of the Canadian Communications TELUS Communications Inc. Legislative Framework January 11, 2019 Appendix 6 Rights Ownership of the Top 100 TV Programs in Canada (English Channels) According to AMA 2017-2018 Broadcast Year to Date (Aug. 28 - Nov. 19, 2017) This is an analysis of who owns the rights to the Top 100 TV programs that have aired on English- language television channels in Canada according to Average Minute Audience (AMA)1 in the 2017- 2018 broadcast year to date (between August 28, 2017 and November 19, 2017). The list of the Top 100 programs can be found in the table on the pages that follow. It should be noted that duplicate listings (airings) of the same program title (series) have been removed from the list, with the exception of news programs and sporting events. In other words, whereas the program The Big Bang Theory (as an example) would have appeared numerous times in the Top 100 list, only the episode/airing with the highest AMA is included in the list. As can be seen, Canada’s vertically integrated broadcasters combined—Bell Media (CTV, CTV Two, TSN, Space), Corus Entertainment (Global, Treehouse, W Network), and Rogers (Citytv, Sportsnet—dominate the list of Top 100 programs, with Canada’s national public broadcaster, CBC, appearing several times and one U.S.

  • War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada's Military, 1952-1992 by Mallory
    War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada’s Military, 19521992 by Mallory Schwartz Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Mallory Schwartz, Ottawa, Canada, 2014 ii Abstract War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada‘s Military, 19521992 Author: Mallory Schwartz Supervisor: Jeffrey A. Keshen From the earliest days of English-language Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television (CBC-TV), the military has been regularly featured on the news, public affairs, documentary, and drama programs. Little has been done to study these programs, despite calls for more research and many decades of work on the methods for the historical analysis of television. In addressing this gap, this thesis explores: how media representations of the military on CBC-TV (commemorative, history, public affairs and news programs) changed over time; what accounted for those changes; what they revealed about CBC-TV; and what they suggested about the way the military and its relationship with CBC-TV evolved. Through a material culture analysis of 245 programs/series about the Canadian military, veterans and defence issues that aired on CBC-TV over a 40-year period, beginning with its establishment in 1952, this thesis argues that the conditions surrounding each production were affected by a variety of factors, namely: (1) technology; (2) foreign broadcasters; (3) foreign sources of news; (4) the influence

    CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL ATLANTIC REGIONAL PANEL CJCH-TV, CKCW-TV & ASN re “Save Local TV” campaign (CBSC Decision 08/09-1707+) Decided January 12, 2010 B. Jones (Vice-Chair), R. Cohen (ad hoc), K. Hicks, B. MacEachern, R. McKeen, T.-M. Wiseman and CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL ONTARIO REGIONAL PANEL CJOH-TV, CKCO-TV, CFTO-TV & CKVR-TV re “Save Local TV” campaign (CBSC Decision 08/09-1748+) Decided April 1, 2010 R. Cohen (ad hoc), M. Hamilton, J. David, G. Phelan (ad hoc) THE FACTS This decision deals with separate broadcasts on television outlets owned by CTVglobemedia, which took place in the Atlantic and Ontario Regions. Since the broadcasts fell under the jurisdiction of different CBSC Panels, they were destined to be treated separately. Although the challenged content of the various broadcasts was different, the underlying reasoning was common to both adjudications and, in addition to an individual complainant about an Atlantic CTV station, there was a group complainant 2 filing a single document covering both Atlantic and Ontario CTV station broadcasts. In the circumstances, although the Panel adjudications were held separately, the two Panels agreed that their decisions should be issued in a single document. Throughout 2009, factions of the Canadian broadcasting industry were debating an issue familiarly known as fee-for-carriage (and referred to in that way at material moments in all of the challenged broadcasts dealt with herein). The issue was also subsumed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) as a part of its determinations listed immediately below under their terminological choice, value-for-signal.
