  • A Free and Independent Press Has Become One of the Hallmarks of a Healthy Democracy
    PROVINCIAL UNITY AMIDST A DIMINISHING PRESS GALLERY by LESLIE DE MEULLES 2009-2010 INTERN THE ONTARIO LEGISLATURE INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME (OLIP) 1303A WHITNEY BLOCK QUEEN'S PARK TORONTO, ONTARIO M7A 1A1 EMAIL: [email protected] PAPER PRESENTED AT THE 2010 ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CANADIAN POLITICAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION, MONTREAL,QUÉBEC, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2nd, 2010. A free and independent press has become one of the hallmarks of a healthy democracy. Press galleries and bureaus have similarly become a cornerstone of the democratic process insofar as they independently report on, and keep politicians accountable. However, the Ontario Legislature Press Gallery membership has been declining over the past 20 years. This decline may very well be an indicator that this „valued‟ democratic institution is in dire straits. This paper attempts to explain why the Press Gallery is shrinking and how decreasing number have led to a lack of political coverage to Northern Ontario, and is leading Northern constituents to rely heavily on their MPPs as a source of political news. This is problematic, as MPP communication can hardly be expected to be non-partisan, objective reporting on the events at Queen‟s Park. That people in Northern Ontario rely on partisan political messaging as a substitute for political news shows how the media as an institution is failing the North, as relying on these forms of communication is akin to relying on propaganda. Due to a dearth of literature on the Ontario Legislature, the research for this paper relied on interviews conducted with Northern MPPs, and current and former Press Gallery members1. The paper exists in three parts.
