  • Here's Your NTCI 2011 Newsletter
    Here’s Your NTCI 2011 Newsletter — But We Need Your Help To Go GREEN! 100 Years of Red & Grey Each year the NTCI Foundation spends over $4,000 on postage for mailing the attached newsletter to the 8,000 alumni in our database — money which could otherwise be used for student awards and grants to support extracurricular activities. Last year we asked you, our readers, to email us your email addresses and your agreement to receive future issues of the newsletter by email. Many of you responded but there are still almost 4,000 alumni in our database for whom we have no email addresses. This year we have transmitted copies to the 4,300 alumni whose email addresses we have by emailing instructions to download it from the Foundation’s website at www.ntcifoundation.ca. We intend to move almost entirely to email distribution, except we will continue to mail the newsletter by Canada Post to those who explicitly request it. This year (2011) for the last time we are also sending it by Canada Post to alumni who haven’t yet responded and for whom we have no email addresses. Our move to email will help use the Foundation’s limited resources more effectively and will also be more environmentally friendly. So, starting in May 2012, newsletters will be sent by email only unless you explicitly request a paper copy. To do this, please inform us by email or check the appropriate box on the tear-off sheet below and mail it (along with any other relevant response forms from the newsletter) to NTCI Foundation, 17 Broadway Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4P 1T7 by July 31, 2011.

  • Liberalism, Social Democracy, and Tom Kent Kenneth C
    Liberalism, Social Democracy, and Tom Kent Kenneth C. Dewar Journal of Canadian Studies/Revue d'études canadiennes, Volume 53, Number/numéro 1, Winter/hiver 2019, pp. 178-196 (Article) Published by University of Toronto Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/719555 Access provided by Mount Saint Vincent University (19 Mar 2019 13:29 GMT) Journal of Canadian Studies • Revue d’études canadiennes Liberalism, Social Democracy, and Tom Kent KENNETH C. DEWAR Abstract: This article argues that the lines separating different modes of thought on the centre-left of the political spectrum—liberalism, social democracy, and socialism, broadly speaking—are permeable, and that they share many features in common. The example of Tom Kent illustrates the argument. A leading adviser to Lester B. Pearson and the Liberal Party from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, Kent argued for expanding social security in a way that had a number of affinities with social democracy. In his paper for the Study Conference on National Problems in 1960, where he set out his philosophy of social security, and in his actions as an adviser to the Pearson government, he supported social assis- tance, universal contributory pensions, and national, comprehensive medical insurance. In close asso- ciation with his philosophy, he also believed that political parties were instruments of policy-making. Keywords: political ideas, Canada, twentieth century, liberalism, social democracy Résumé : Cet article soutient que les lignes séparant les différents modes de pensée du centre gauche de l’éventail politique — libéralisme, social-démocratie et socialisme, généralement parlant — sont perméables et qu’ils partagent de nombreuses caractéristiques.

  • Journalistic Pathfinding: How the Parliamentary Press Gallery Adapted to News Management Under the Conservative Government of Stephen Harper
    Journalistic Pathfinding: How the Parliamentary Press Gallery Adapted to News Management Under the Conservative Government of Stephen Harper by Jennifer Ditchburn A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Journalism School of Journalism and Communication Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014 Jennifer Ditchburn ii Abstract Commentary on the contemporary interface between the media and governments often portrays outnumbered reporters as willingly accepting information subsidies as a way of meeting the demands of the 24/7 multi-platform newsroom. But this view fails to take into account the impact on journalistic routines of more extreme forms of government news management, which block access to information and to politicians rather than merely packaging or “spinning” them favourably. The experience of the parliamentary press gallery in Ottawa vis-à-vis Stephen Harper’s government offers an excellent opportunity to take a closer look at the practical realities of political journalists confronted with stringent government news management tactics. A rupture in the historic role relationship between the gallery and the Prime Minister’s Office resulted in journalists adapting their techniques. They became pathfinders seeking out new routes – alternative human and data sources – to reach the information they needed to write their stories and prepare broadcasts. iii Acknowledgments One of the first things you’re supposed to do when embarking on the Master of Journalism program at Carleton University is come up with a thesis topic. For someone like me, having been away from university for 16 years doing hard news, the academic ideas weren’t exactly flowing freely.
