Canada is at a critical juncture in the evolution of its communications policy. Will our information and communications technologies continue in a market-oriented, neoliberal direction, or will they preserve and strengthen broader democratic values? Media Divides offers a comprehensive, up-to-date audit of communications law and policy. Using the concept of communications rights as a framework for analysis, leading scholars not only reveal the nation's democratic deficits in five key domains - media, access, the Internet, privacy, and copyright - they also formulate recommendations, including the establishment of a Canadian right to communicate, for the future.
