  • Findings Regarding Market Capacity and the Appropriateness of Issuing a Call for Radio Applications to Serve the Timmins Radio Market
    Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2019-84 PDF version Reference: 2018-379 Ottawa, 20 March 2019 Public record: 1011-NOC2018-0379 Findings regarding market capacity and the appropriateness of issuing a call for radio applications to serve the Timmins radio market The Commission finds that the Timmins radio market cannot sustain an additional radio station at this time. Consequently, the Commission will return the application filed by Vista Radio Ltd. for a broadcasting licence to operate a commercial radio station in Timmins, Ontario. Introduction 1. In Broadcasting Notice of Consultation 2018-379, the Commission announced that it had received an application by Vista Radio Ltd. (Vista) to operate a commercial FM radio station in Timmins, Ontario. 2. The city of Timmins is located in northeastern Ontario approximately 280 kilometers north of Sudbury. The Timmins radio market is currently served by four commercial FM radio stations: the English-language stations CJQQ-FM and CKGB-FM, operated by Rogers Media Inc. (Rogers); the English-language station CHMT-FM, operated by Vista; and the French-language station CHYK-FM, operated by LE5 Communications Inc. (LE5). The market is also served by the Indigenous station CJWT-FM, operated by Wawatay Native Communications Society, as well as rebroadcasting transmitters of Sudbury stations belonging to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. 3. In accordance with Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2014-554 (the Policy), the Commission called for comments on the capacity of Timmins to support a new station and the

We support a strong communications system that serves the public interest. 3 I am joined by Al MacKay, a Director of the Forum’s Board who has been involved in various aspects of the broadcast industry for over 40 years, 4 We will address three issues about local broadcast news: why does it matter, what is known about it, and what could be done about it? We will be referring to the tables we have given the Clerk. II Why does local broadcast news still matter? 5 As your Committee has already heard, local news is under pressure. 6 But strong local media serve many purposes. They foster citizen engagement, and they enable our democracy to exist. A vibrant local station is at the heart of the community that relies on it for information about everything from school closures to local elections. 7 Local media matter because every community is unique, with a different perspective on the issues that matter in and outside its borders.

  • Media Ownership and News Coverage of International Conflict
    Media Ownership and News Coverage of International Conflict Matthew Baum Yuri Zhukov Harvard Kennedy School University of Michigan matthew [email protected] [email protected] How do differences in ownership of media enterprises shape news coverage of international conflict? We examine this relationship using a new dataset of 591,532 articles on US-led multinational military opera- tions in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo, published by 2,505 newspapers in 116 countries. We find that ownership chains exert a homogenizing effect on the content of newspapers’ coverage of foreign pol- icy, resulting in coverage across co-owned papers that is more similar in scope (what they cover), focus (how much “hard” relative to “soft” news they offer), and diversity (the breadth of topics they include in their coverage of a given issue) relative to coverage across papers that are not co-owned. However, we also find that competitive market pressures can mitigate these homogenizing effects, and incentivize co-owned outlets to differentiate their coverage. Restrictions on press freedom have the opposite impact, increasing the similarity of coverage within ownership chains. February 27, 2018 What determines the information the press reports about war? This question has long concerned polit- ical communication scholars (Hallin 1989, Entman 2004). Yet it is equally important to our understanding of international conflict. Prevailing international relations theories that take domestic politics into account (e.g., Fearon 1994, 1995, Lake and Rothschild 1996, Schultz 2001) rest on the proposition that the efficient flow of information – between political leaders and their domestic audiences, as well as between states involved in disputes – can mitigate the prevalence of war, either by raising the expected domestic political costs of war or by reducing the likelihood of information failure.1 Yet models of domestic politics have long challenged the possibility of a perfectly informed world (Downs 1957: 213).
