The book mirrors the tensions that exist between the power and influence of global media and the needs of citizens and local communities. [...] Many of the articles celebrate the dyna- mism of Canadian culture and communication — the vibrant populism of Canadian music, the achievements of Canadian authors (some of whom now command a world stage), the presence of high quality commentary and criti- cal journalism in newspapers and on TV, and the considerable potential that exists in areas such as telehealth. [...] The first is that the sovereignty of nation states is being challenged and indeed curtailed by the emergence of transnational and mul- tilateral institutions such as the European Union, NAFTA, and the WTO. [...] Dornan, who is the director of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carleton University and who is an astute observer of developments in the newspaper industry in Canada and worldwide, chronicles the extraordinary developments that took place in the Canadian newspaper industry in 2001. [...] The problem with this is that the reduction, not to mention the removal, of hidden cross-subsidies has been the most intractable problem for both the regulator and new entrants in making the transformation of the telecommunications sector, at all levels, local and long distance, from a monopoly to a competitive market (Schultz 1995; 1998; Crandall and Waverman 2000).
