Editorial autonomy of CMAJ
Despite claims by the Canadian Medical Association (CMA), the Committee concludes that CMAJ's editorial autonomy is to an important degree illusory. In its view, any attempt by the CMA to impose its influence on the editors would be catastrophic for the CMAJ's reputation as well as damaging to the reputation of the CMA.

Gendered news : media coverage and electoral politics in Canada
In the last fifty years, many of the institutional and societal barriers keeping Canadian women from public office have disappeared. Yet today, women hold only a quarter of the seats in the House of Commons - a proportion that rose by just seven percentage points between 1993 and 2011. In this illuminating study, Elizabeth Goodyear-Grant examines a significant obstacle still facing women in political life: gendered media coverage. Based on interviews with MPs and party leaders, and on an analysis of print and television media in the 2000 and 2006 federal elections, Gendered News reveals an unsettling climate that affects the success of women in office, and that could deter them from running at all. -- Publisher website.

Becoming a Model Minority: The Depiction of Japanese Canadians in the Globe and Mail, 1946–2000
This paper examines the questions of whether the portrayal of Japanese Canadians in the media has changed over time and what accounts for the change or the lack thereof. These questions were addressed by conducting a content analysis of the portrayal of Japanese Canadians in the Globe and Mail from 1946 to 2000. Using frame analysis, this paper shows that the frames used to portray Japanese Canadians changed from the Unthreatening Community Frame, 1946–1980, to the Justified Victims Frame, 1981–1990, to the Model Minority Frame, 1991–2000. The findings indicate that the frames are not just imposed on Japanese Canadians by the media, but that they reflect the interaction of the changing norms of the Globe and Mail , as well as the changing Japanese Canadian experience. However, all the frames overlook the complex nature of the Japanese Canadian community and minimize past and current discrimination. Dans cet article, nous examinons si le portrait des Canadiens japonais a changé dans les média avec le temps et ce qui explique cette évolution ou ce statu quo. Pour traiter de ces questions, nous avons analysé comment le journal le Globe and Mail les a dépeints de 1946 à l’an 2000. À partir d’une analyse du cadrage de Goffman, nous démontrons que celui servant à représenter les Nippo-Canadiens a changé du temps du « cadrage d’une communauté non-menaçante » (1946 –1980), au « cadrage des victimes justifiées » (1981 – 1990) et au « cadrage d’une minorité mo-dèle » (1991 – 2000). Les résultats indiquent que ces cadrages ne sont pas simplement imposés à ces derniers par les média, mais qu’ils reflètent l’interaction des changements normatifs du Globe and Mail autant qu’une mutation de l’expérience des Canadiens japonais. Pourtant, aucun ne tient compte de la complexité qui règne au sein de la communauté nippo-canadienne, et tous minimisent la discrimination passée et actuelle.

Objectivity in Journalism
\"For most of this century, good journalism has traditionally been equated with objective journalism. The fundamentals of objective journalism have traditionally been the following: present the 5W's, get both sides of the story, and most important, keep your opinions to yourself.\" (SKEPTIC) This article attempts to demonstrate that \"opinions, beliefs and biases\" are the currency of normal human thought and, therefore, belong in journalism. The dangers of requiring reporters to distance themselves from their own humanity are explored.

Describing a National Crisis: An Exploration in Textual Analysis
To the extent that organizational practices are constitutive of documentary reality, they are embedded as 'seen but unnoticed' features in the text & are recoverable through an ethnomethodologically informed textual analysis that turns these practices, which are reporters' resources, into topics of investigations. The Preliminary Report of the Canadian Royal Commission on Bilingualism & Biculturalism (1969), which proclaimed the existence of a Canadian national crisis, was used as a case study. The most significant of the organizational practices uncovered are the various steps the reporters take to convert a collection of competing opinions into a collective Canadian national opinion, & numerous unrepresentative, narrow, regional individual opinions. Central to this transformation is the indexical use of geographical locality: in one instance, locality is treated as representing different regions of Canada from which the opinions in accord with the reporters' stance were gathered; in the other instance, locality is treated as constitutive attribute of the opinion giver & his/her nonrepresentative narrow regional views. It is through these consequential but taken for granted interpretative judgments that a convincing sense of what is the social condition, or what is the social problem, can be achieved. The presence of these practices raises issues concerning the possibility of objective reporting. The uncovering of these practices serves to deobjectify & undermine the hegemony of the report & its produced reality. Modified AA.
