Canadian Communication Policy and Law

"This textbook provides a uniquely Canadian examination of issues in communication policy and law, including freedom of expression, access to information, telecommunications policy, broadcasting policy, internet regulation, censorship, defamation, privacy, government surveillance, and intellectual property. Taking a critical stance, the author draws attention to unequal power structures by asking the question, whom does Canadian communication policy and law serve? Key theories for analysis of law and policy issues--such as pluralist, libertarian, Marxist, critical race, critical disability, feminist, queer, postcolonial, and intersectional theories--are discussed in detail in this accessibly written text. From critical and theoretical analysis to legal research and citation skills, this book serves as a resource for communication studies students who are undertaking research and writing on legal and policy topics for the first time."--
