Canada UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Alethea A. Foster, candidate for the degree of Special Case Master of Arts degree in Indigenous Studies, has presented a thesis titled, Aboriginal Presence in the Mainstream Media: Issues and Journalists, in an oral examination held on January 25, 2008. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: Dr. Lorna F. Roth, Concordia University Co-Supervisor: Dr. David R. Miller, Department of Indigenous Studies Co-Supervisor: Professor Shannon Avison, Department of Indigenous Studies Committee Member: Dr. Margaret Wigmore, Department of English Chair of Defense: Dr. Linda Goulet, Department of Indigenous Education ABSTRACT The Aboriginal population is the fastest growing segment of the Canadian population. According to the 2001 census, there are 976,305 Aboriginal people in Canada. Most of those, almost 609,000, are First Nations, 292,305 are Metis and the rest are Inuit. In Saskatchewan, Aboriginal people made up 13.52 percent of the population in 2001 and if current trends continue it is anticipated that the Aboriginal population will grow to 33 percent by 2045. However, it is generally accepted that First Nations people and issues are not well understood by the general public. Since many non-First Nations people have little day to day contact with First Nations people, most of what they do know about Aboriginal issues and people comes through the mainstream media. Therefore, if people have misunderstandings the media is at the very least partially to blame. We live in a society that is strongly influenced by an environment in which the mass media plays a crucial and often decisive role in the enhancement or the destruction of the images of "other" peoples. This thesis critically examines the power of the media, how the mainstream media covers minority issues with a particular focus on First Nation issues; what role First Nations journalists play in that coverage and to what degree the coverage is negotiated or dictated. While a small but growing body of literature exists regarding the mainstream media and Aboriginal issues, most of the discourse in this area comes together with an examination of other minorities. In particular the thesis will examine the coverage of Aboriginal issues, focusing on the observations of six Aboriginal journalists in Saskatchewan. This approach i provides a voice to perceptions that thus far have been limited and sparse and intersects those perceptions with the academic discourse surrounding the issue. The views of the journalists will be used to buttress existing literature on mass media and minorities issues. These journalists agree on many things: that the coverage of Aboriginal issues in the mainstream media is lacking and that it is improving, they believe that more Aboriginal journalists and gatekeepers are needed in the media, and they believe that other reporters and gatekeepers require more education regarding Aboriginal issues in order to improve coverage. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to acknowledge and extend my appreciation to Dr. David R. Miller and Professor Shannon Avison of the First Nations University of Canada for their support, advice and patience in the production of this thesis. I would also like to extend my thanks and appreciation to Dr. Margaret Wigmore of the University of Regina's English Department for her help in clarifying and finalizing the material. I thank the journalists who agreed to be interviewed for this thesis; Betty Ann Adam, Nelson Bird, Mervin Brass, Doug Cuthand, Merelda Fiddler and Michelle Hugh who shared their thoughts and hopes with me. Without their candid and open sharing of information, I could not have completed this project and their input was invaluable in keeping me from giving up. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the financial assistance of an unsolicited University of Regina Academic Scholarship and appointments such as a teaching assistant at the First Nations University of Canada which enabled me to complete my studies. I would also like to acknowledge the Government of Saskatchewan, my employer, for its support of my pursuit of further higher learning.

It provides an overview of the magazine’s 35-year history, as well as an analysis of its current state: editorial, advertising, circulation, readership and competition. The report also offers an inside account of the strategic planning that went into the relaunch, including: findings from a July 2002 competitive analysis of Toronto Life, Canada’s preeminent city magazine; highlights from a November 2002 Vancouver magazine subscriber survey; and a chronicle of various planning meetings, held within Transcontinental Media West, between July and December 2002. This report evaluates Vancouver magazine’s prospects for a successful relaunch within the framework of the two city magazine studies, each of which addresses the role and purpose of a city magazine. Questions and findings from those studies are then posed to three editors of Vancouver magazine (past and present), who offer an analysis of the city magazine research within the context of their specific experiences at the magazine.

  • Playing by New Rules: Allan Gotlieb, Public Diplomacy, and the Management of Canada-Us Relations
    PLAYING BY NEW RULES: ALLAN GOTLIEB, PUBLIC DIPLOMACY, AND THE MANAGEMENT OF CANADA-US RELATIONS ANDREW F. COOPER In the early 1980s, the Trudeau government adopted a new, high-profile style in the conduct of Canadiandiplomacy with the United States. CanadianAmbassador Allan Gotlieb led the campaign of public diplomacy to raise the consciousness of Americans, in elite circles and the broaderpublic, about Canadianconcerns. Here, Andrew Cooper examines the origins and nature of the approach, its strengths and weaknesses, and its possible role in future Canada-US relations. Canadian diplomacy vis-i-vis the United States took a new shape at the beginning of the 1980s. Most strikingly, "public diplomacy" became a central feature in the management of Canada-US relations. A comprehensive analysis of Canada's experience with respect to public diplomacy sheds light on certain broader questions about the concept and practice of this diplomatic technique.' The origins of Canadian public diplomacy possess both external and internal dimensions. Externally, the most important factor influencing the shift in approach of Canadian diplomacy was a transformation in the "rules of the game" in the Canada-US relationship. Internally, a central factor was the role of Allan Gotlieb as the architect and leading practitioner of this "thoroughly modern" type of diplomacy, 2 especially during his ambassadorship to the United States from December 1981 to January 1989. Indeed, the practice of Canadian public diplomacy toward the United States during the 1980s may be said to be his diplomacy to a large extent. The ends and means of Canadian public diplomacy distinguished this approach both from traditional Canadian diplomacy and other forms of public diplomacy.

  • Journalism Education in Canada
    Journalism Education in Canada: Toward a Corporate Model? Marc Edge Assistant Professor Division of Journalism and Publishing School of Communication and Information Nanyang Technological University, Singapore [email protected] A PAPER FOR PRESENTATION TO “PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION FOR THE MEDIA IN THE DIGITAL AGE” THE FIRST JOURNET INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE NEWCASTLE, AUSTRALIA, FEBRUARY 2004 ABSTRACT Journalism education in Canada lags far behind the field in the U.S., both in history and numbers. The first university-level schools of journalism in Canada did not open until the late 1940s, and until the mid-1970s there were only three four-year journalism schools there, all in the dominant province of Ontario. University teaching of the subject did not reach Canada’s west coast until the late 1990s, despite the promise of a graduate school there dating to 1980. Two major reasons for this belated development have been practitioner resistance and a lack of government funding. Despite this, the number of university journalism programs in Canada has seen a recent upturn. Increased corporate funding, which has led to a rise in the number of programs, has also raised concern for the independence of scholarly media criticism, however, as some journalism school directors have been seen as advocating in the interests of their corporate benefactors. 1 Introduction Journalism education at the university level in Canada is not as mature a field as it is in the United States, where instruction in the subject has progressed through several stages of development over almost a century. (Sloan, 1990: 10) The same pattern of development has started to be seen in Canada, according to one study, but when compared with the U.S.
