Kennedy was used in a recent discussion of dark humour on CBC Radio’s Writers & Company. Patrons For kids and teens, the horrors of the world can range widely in level of gravity — from Marilyn Baillie Kit Pearson ways that adults can bewilder and mortify young people to the very real tragedies of death The Peter and Eleanor Daniels Foundation and grieving. Yet, funny books and funny/serious books are enthusiastically embraced by Tina Powell young readers. I’ve often felt that we don’t give enough credit to the writers who have the Ian and Deb Wallace talent to create these books. Perhaps it’s because humour continues to be seen as easy Sponsors to write. Perhaps it’s because, as Ted Staunton observes in this issue, humour is a Amazon.ca much more subjective quality. Friesens HarperCollins Canada In “A Seriously Funny Roundtable,” Melanie Fishbane interviews four excellent writers Penguin Group (Canada) about humour and how they use it in books which make their readers think seriously and Rawlinson Moving & Storage TD Bank Group laugh at the same time.

Given all the challenges of writing, illustrating and publishing for children — and running bookstores for children — they have to! Even though you may hear a certain amount of moaning or a number of dour predictions from those same creators and producers, they couldn’t be in the business of children’s books if they weren’t possessed of a core compulsion to look cheerfully into the future. Th is past year, however, has proved a challenge. As I write this, Douglas & McIntyre is in creditor protection with the outcome to be announced in February. Although mainly a publisher for the adult market, D&M and its sister company Greystone Books have pub- lished excellent and award-winning non-fi ction for young people. In 2012, a number of independent bookstores shut down branches of their operation (Nicholas Hoare Books in Ottawa and Montreal) or closed their doors (Toronto Women’s Bookstore and Th e Book Mark in Toronto, Titles in Peterborough, Greenwoods in Edmonton). Over the holiday came the sad news that Benjamin’s Books, the 13-year- old children’s bookstore in Rothesay, New Brunswick, was closing its doors. And, while children’s books have always been judged by Kendal Hanson the general media to be less important and less “literary” than their Patsy Aldana presents the Matt Cohen Award to Jean Little.

  • 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

  • 17 BRGLEZ Canadian Media
    How the Canadian Media Memorialized the Fall of the Berlin Wall Karen Brglez, University of Winnipeg On November 9, 1999, television reporter, Peter Mansbridge announced to Canadians on national news that “in Berlin tonight they’re remembering a night no one could forget. The night ten years ago when an explosion of freedom levelled a wall. And changed the world.”1 The commemorations being celebrated marked the collapse of the Berlin Wall in the fall of 1989. The opening of the wall eliminated the central symbol of the Cold War period. The barrier had divided East and West Berlin for twenty-eight years, and its spontaneous opening triggered an upheaval that overturned the postwar order on the European continent. All within a single year the German states were unified, the Warsaw Pact collapsed, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was extended to the East.2 The free democratic world celebrated Western liberation from post- Stalinist oppression. In 1999 and 2009 the Canadian media extensively reported on the transnational event of the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Ten and twenty years after the German upheaval of November 9, 1989 the Canadian media commemorated the occasion through the transmission of television programs, interactive webpages, and newspaper articles. This case study will examine, why the Canadian media made the fall of the Berlin Wall such a highly visible media affair on the anniversaries. The cultural constructed productions reveal that the Canadian mass media created a public discourse that celebrated a western democratic victory over the Soviet communist political and economic system. The heroic tale indirectly applauded NATO’s successes on the European continent and commended the advancement of democratization.

It’s a real honour to be here in Regina and especially to give the Minifie lecture. James M. Minifie embodied the best of Canadian foreign journalism. He was an early integrator who filed for both radio and TV and I’m sure would have also filed for online had it existed. The story of my coming to give this lecture is a little bit like the job that we do, a little like doing foreign correspondence. Just like foreign correspondence, every obstacle that could possibly be thrown in my way happened! I felt like I was being tested – the way we are with every single story we file. Even the very last leg of this journey, coming from Toronto just a few hours ago, I barely made it out. It was wet snow and a huge lineup of planes being de- iced. I couldn’t believe we made it out. So, just like every story we file, the object, as painful as it can be, is to make deadline – no matter what. The idea is that an imperfect but accurate and complete story on the air is better than no story.
