How Canadians Communicate II

In the first volume of How Canadians Communicate the editors examined and assessed the health of Canada's cultural industries circa 2003. In this second volume, they not only undertake a new examination of Canada's current media health, but also turn their attention to analyzing the impact of the startling pace of global media proliferation on our country's media institutions. The revolutionary changes underway in mass media technology, from blogs to peer-to-peer networks and the ubiquitous cell phone, have all imposed structural modifications on global communication systems, inexorably altering the fundamental ways in which Canadians communicate.
