Communications of Indigenous People
Prior to the 1960s, only a few periodicals were published for Indigenous people, mainly by non-Indigenous missionary and government organizations. Notable examples were the Chinook-language Kamloops Wawa (1891-1905) and the Inuktitut-language Oblate publications of the 1940s and 1950s.

Advertising
The first formal advertisement in Canada was an offer of butter for sale that appeared in 1752 in an official government publication called the Halifax Gazette. In 1764 the Québec Gazette (later renamed the Chronicle-Telegraph) was founded, as much to carry news of merchandise as events.

CBC/Radio-Canada
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)/Radio-Canada is one of the world's major publicly owned broadcasters. A crown corporation founded in 1936, it operates national and regional radio and television networks in English (CBC) and French (Radio-Canada). It broadcasts locally produced programs in English and eight Indigenous languages for people in the far North. It also runs a multilingual shortwave service for listeners overseas and provides closed captioning for the deaf. It gets nearly 60 per cent of its current funding from federal grants. It also draws revenue from sponsorship, advertising and the sale of programs to other countries. It is responsible to Parliament for its conduct. But the government has no control in the CBC’s day-to-day operations. For nearly 100 years, it has provided Canadians with a broad range of programming. Its critics continue to call for the CBC to be defunded and for the playing field for all broadcasters to be levelled.

CBC Challenges CRTC Directive
What a difference a word or two of jargon makes. When the top federal broadcast regulator, Françoise Bertrand, was asked last week how she expected the CBC to pay for the raft of new programming demands she is trying to impose, she lapsed into bloated bureaucratese.This article was originally published in Maclean's Magazine on January 17, 2000

CBC Cuts Announced
This article was originally published in Maclean’s magazine on September 30, 1996. Partner content is not updated. Perrin Beatty was smiling as he entered the plush Toronto hotel room. And as he concluded his speech to reporters last week, it was clear that he was trying to spin the radical changes at the CANADIAN BROADCASTING CORP. into a good news-bad news proposition.

Communication Studies
Research may focus on a variety of topics. Mass media are studied for the content of their programs, the way those programs are produced and the impact of various influences on programming. Media economic structure and the media's role in political life are also topics of research.

Communications in the North
Communications have played a special role in the North. Terrain, climate and distance made it difficult for northerners to communicate with each other or with southern Canada before the advent of electronic media. In traditional times, Inuit messages were passed through personal contact.
