		<description><![CDATA[The future looks bleak for the CBC as we know it. The public broadcaster is facing a 12 percent ($115 million) cut in its government funding and, two years down the road, the probable loss of the television service’s flagship Hockey Night in Canada, which brings in about half the corporation’s advertising revenue, and provides [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Market forces that are alleged to maximize quality and minimize price in consumer products systematically produce mediocrity in commercial mass media output. Consumers of commercial broadcast media do not get “what they want” from the broadcasters. Although the dynamic is widely recognized, its sources and mechanics are seldom analyzed. Identifying the product of commercial mass media as audiences rather than programming is the key to delineating the issues through an analysis of the market for this product. This entails an analysis of the determinants of quality in media. There are signs that web-based media are increasingly falling under quality constraints similar to those experienced in traditional advertising-supported media. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[News of the (apparent) phenomenon of faster-than-light travel by neutrinos reported by CERN this month (Sept., 2011) comes while I&#8217;ve been thinking of the notion that the world is being drawn into the future by an attractive force, rather than being pushed from behind by cause-and-effect. The latter is the scientific position; the former is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Wade Rowland First it was big tobacco. Now, some of the victors in those multi-billion dollar David-and-Goliath class-action suits have turned their guns on the fast food industry, charging that junk food is responsible for a public health disaster no less appalling than tobacco’s. They have snack food giants like Kraft and Frito Lay [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Supreme Court of Canada’s decision this July (2007) to uphold federal law restricting the advertising of tobacco was a welcome endorsement of government’s right to control the activities of corporations. Unfortunately, the reasoning used by the Court in dismissing big tobacco’s case may actually strengthen corporate power when the bigger picture is considered. The [...]]]></description>
