Univerzita Karlova, Fakulta sociálních věd, Institut komunikačních studií a ţurnalistiky. Katedra mediálních studií. Vedoucí diplomové práce doc. PhDr. Barbara Köpplová, CSc. Abstrakt Diplomová práce je zaměřena na klíčová kanadská média – tisk, rozhlas a televizi. V jednotlivých kapitolách popisuji jejich vývoj, to co je v průběhu let formovalo a ovlivňovalo a také to, jakou roli hrají v dnešní Kanadě, a které z nich má v této zemi výsadní postavení. Ještě předtím se ve své práci zabývám dějinami Kanady, aby bylo jasné, z jakých kořenů vůbec kanadská ţurnalistika a její média vznikla. Pozornost věnuji také některým vybraným významným osobnostem kanadských médií, ať uţ těm z minulosti, nebo ze současnosti, které se nějakým způsobem podílely na tom, jakou má dnešní kanadská ţurnalistika a její média podobu v současnosti. Mé pozornosti neušla ani oblast francouzsko-kanadské ţurnalistiky, která o svou podobu a místo na mapě kanadských médií bojovala po celá staletí. Jejím centrem je kanadská provincie Quebec. Ve své práci se také zabývám tím, jak se ţurnalistika na kanadských univerzitách vyučuje, kolik univerzit ji nabízí jako studijní program a jak se vyučuje. Zda se klade větší důraz na teorii nebo na pratickou stránku ţurnalistiky. Píši také o mediální výchově, která má v Kanadě uţ několikaletou historii. V neposlední řadě jsem se pokusila zmapovat českou stopu v kanadských médiích a konkrétně jmenovat některá krajanská média, která si své čtenáře v Kanadě našla. Abstract The thesis is focused on key canadian media - print, radio and television, in the individulal chapters I´m trying to describe their development as it is during the formative years and influenced, and what role it plays in today's Canada and which one of them has a privileged position in the country. Before that I was trying to deal with the history of Canada to clarify the roots all Canadian journalism and the media occurred. I also give attention to some selected major Canadian media personalities, whether those from the past and the present, who are in some way involved on what is today Canadian journalism, or the form of it´s today. My attention did not miss either: the French- Canadian journalism, which about their form and the place on the map of the Canadian media fought for centuries. Its center is the Canadian province of Quebec. In my work, I also discuss how journalism is taught at several Canadian universities, how much of them offers a learning program and how they teach it. Whether the emphasis is more on theory or more practical. I write also about media education, which has been several years in Canada's history. Last but not least, I tried to map the Czech track in the Canadian media and specifically designate some of expatriate media that readers can find in Canada.

PhDr. Barbara Köpplová, CSc. Charakteristika tématu a jeho dosavadní zpracování (rozsah do 1800 znaků): Klíčovým zaměřením práce bude popis vzniku a vývoje kanadských médií od jejich počátků do současnosti. Práce se zaměří na všechny oblasti - tištěná média, televizní i rozhlasové vysílání. Popíše co mělo vliv na formování kanadské ţurnalistiky. Jaká je historie země, její kultura, její vztah k jiným zemím. Kanada je konstituční monarchie s federálním uspořádáním deseti provincií a tří teritorií. Jednotlivé provincie této druhé největší země na světě mají své specifikum, které se odráţí i v oblasti médií a ţurnalistiky. Výloučnou oblastí je pak frankofonní provincie Québec. Základním prvkem kanadské identity, je multikulturalita, která má na podobu kanadské ţurnalistiky také zásadní vliv. Cílem práce je zjistit, jak dějinný vývoj ovlivnil vznik a podobu kanadské ţurnalistiky, potaţmo kanadských médií. Předpokládaný cíl diplomové práce, původní přínos autora diplomové práce ke zpracování tématu, případně formulace problému, výzkumné otázky nebo hypotézy (rozsah do 1800 znaků): Cílem diplomové práce je představit kanadskou ţurnalistiku a její média jako celek. Přiblíţit její charakteristické rysy. To, které osobnosti kanadskou ţurnalistiku formovaly. O kanadské ţurnalistice se v Česku ví poměrně málo. Zajímavé bude přiblíţit přední novináře, vydavatelství, typy novin, televizní a rozhlasové vysílání. Kanadskou ţurnalistiku a americkou ţurnalistiku spojuje fakt, ţe vychází pouze velmi malé mnoţství celostátní deníků, konkrétně v Kanadě vychází jen dva. Kaţdá provincice pak produkuje svůj "regionální" tisk. Známou skutečností je fakt, ţe v Kanadě ţije velká komunita našich krajánků, která vydává relativně velké mnoţství krajanských novin. Chci se proto pokusit je blíţe popsat. Předpokládaná struktura práce (rozdělení do jednotlivých kapitol a podkapitol se stručnou charakteristikou jejich obsahu): Úvod (motivace k výběru tématu, formulace, hypotézy) Dějiny Kanady - počátky kanadských dějin - původní obyvatelé - první Evropané - první francouzské osídlení Kanady - dělení kontinentu - Horní a Dolní Kanada před rokem 1840 - politický vývoj obou Kanad před rokem 1840 - ostatní kolonie před vytvořením konfederace - vytvoření konfederace - Kanada v období první světové války - Období mezi první a druhou světovou válkou - Kanada v období druhé světové války - Kanada po druhé světové válce Kanadská ţurnalistika - počátky kanadské ţurnalistiky aţ počátek první světové války - kanadská ţurnalistika mezi dvě světovými válkami - kanadská ţurnalistika po druhé světové válce - kanadská ţurnalistika dneška Kanadská média Tištěná kanadská média - celostátní deníky a jejich charakteristika - regionální deníky, resp. deníky jednotlivých provincií a jejich charakteristika - kanadská vydavatelství novin Audiovizuální média - celostátní televizní stanice a jejich charakteristika - regionální televizní stanice, resp. televizní stanice v jednotlivých provinciích a jejich charakteristika - televizní společnosti v Kanadě Rozhlas - celostátní rozhlas a jeho charakteristika - regionální rozhlasové stanice, resp. rozhlasové stanice jednotlivých provimcií a jejich charakteristika Významné osobnosti kanadské ţurnalistiky a médií Studium ţurnalistiky v Kanadě - významné univerzity - Jak se ţurnalistika na univerzitách vyučuje? - výukový program oboru ţurnalistika na univerzitách Češi v Kanadě - příchod Čechů do Kanady - ţivot Čechů v Kanadě - krajanské spolky - krajanské noviny a jejich charakteristika - Češi v kanadských médiích Závěr (shrnutí, nastínění moţného dalšího vývoje) Resumé Seznam pouţité literatury Přílohy Vymezení podkladového materiálu (např. analyzované tituly a období, za které budou analyzovány) a metody (techniky) jeho zpracování: Do práce budou zahrnuty zejména tištěná média.

  • 'Turncoats, Opportunists, and Political Whores': Floor Crossers in Ontario
    “‘Turncoats, Opportunists, and Political Whores’: Floor Crossers in Ontario Political History” By Patrick DeRochie 2011-12 Intern Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) 1303A Whitney Block Queen’s Park Toronto, Ontario M7A 1A2 Phone: 416-325-0040 [email protected] www.olipinterns.ca www.facebook.com/olipinterns www.twitter.com/olipinterns Paper presented at the 2012 Annual meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Edmonton, Alberta Friday, June 15th, 2012. Draft: DO NOT CITE 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank the following people for their support, advice and openness in helping me complete this research paper: Gilles Bisson Sean Conway Steve Gilchrist Henry Jacek Sylvia Jones Rosario Marchese Lynn Morrison Graham Murray David Ramsay Greg Sorbara Lise St-Denis David Warner Graham White 3 INTRODUCTION When the October 2011 Ontario general election saw Premier Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals win a “major minority”, there was speculation at Queen’s Park that a Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) from the Progressive Conservative (PC) Party or New Democratic Party (NDP) would be induced to cross the floor. The Liberals had captured fifty-three of 107 seats; the PCs and NDP, thirty-seven and seventeen, respectively. A Member of one of the opposition parties defecting to join the Liberals would have definitively changed the balance of power in the Legislature. Even with the Speaker coming from the Liberals’ ranks, a floor crossing would give the Liberals a de facto majority and sufficient seats to drive forward their legislative agenda without having to rely on at least one of the opposition parties. A January article in the Toronto Star revealed that the Liberals had quietly made overtures to at least four PC and NDP MPPs since the October election, 1 meaning that a floor crossing was a very real possibility.

  • Our Society Lacks Consistently Defined Attitudes
    ‘OUR SOCIETY LACKS CONSISTENTLY DEFINED ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE BLACK BEAR’: THE HISTORY OF BLACK BEAR HUNTING AND MANAGEMENT IN ONTARIO, 1912-1987 by MICHAEL COMMITO, B.A. (HONS), M.A. McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2015) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: ‘Our society lacks consistently defined attitudes towards the black bear’: The History of Black Bear Hunting and Management in Ontario, 1912-1987 AUTHOR: Michael Commito, B.A. (Hons) (Laurentian University), M.A. (Laurentian University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Ken Cruikshank NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 282 ii ABSTRACT What kind of animal was a black bear? Were black bears primarily pests, pets, furbearers or game animals? Farmers, conservationists, tourists, trappers, and hunters in early twentieth- century Ontario could not agree. Even as the century progressed, ideas about bears remained twisted and there was often very little consensus about what the animal represented. These varying perceptions complicated the efforts of the provincial Department of Game and Fisheries and its successor agencies, the Department of Lands and Forests and the Ministry of Natural Resources, to develop coherent bear management policies. Perceptions about black bears often conflicted and competed with one another and at no one time did they have a single meaning in Ontario. The image of Ontario’s black bears has been continuously negotiated as human values, attitudes, and policies have changed over time. As a result, because of various and often competing perspectives, the province’s bear management program, for most of the twentieth century, was very loose and haphazard because the animal had never been uniformly defined or valued. Examining the history of these ambiguous viewpoints towards the black bear in Ontario provides us with a snapshot of how culture intersects with our natural resources and may pose challenges for management.

  • 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.

No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopy, recording, or any information storage and retrieval system, without permission in writing from the publisher. 2 Introduction Having spent most of my life around newspapers, as a young lad growing up around the back shop at the Times-Journal in Uxbridge, and in later years as owner and publisher of The Port Perry Star, researching the birth and growth of the two communities newspapers seemed like a natural undertaking. One could say my love for newspapers began when my parents, Leila and Per (Pete) Hvidsten purchased the Times-Journal in 1953, and even now, some 50 years after my intro- duction to a press room, the smell of newsprint and ink, makes my senses spring to life. At the impressionable age of eight years, the old Glockner press which printed the T-J looked like a huge monster, as it towered over my head and stretched out 30 feet across the ink soaked oak plank floor. The press, as I recall it, had two steps to get to a small platform where a pressman (usual- ly my dad) would stand and feed fresh sheets of newsprint, about 36”x48” in size, into the press.
