The Media in Canada

Abstract

This chapter delves into the Canadian context by providing a historical overview of language in Canada and tracing Canadian media from its more traditional forms (e.g. newspapers, public broadcaster) to new and social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter). It then turns to previous research that has been undertaken on Canadian media, which has demonstrated the extent to which English and French Canadian media diverge and their contribution towards the construction of the “two solitudes” (MacLennan, Two solitudes . Kingston/Montreal: McGill-Queen’s University Press, 1945). The chapter also discusses the lack of research on language ideologies in Canada and the lack of comparative English-French media research, which are both the central focus of the later chapters of this book. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
