Book Description
Sotiron describes how, in their drive to maximize profits, publishers abandoned partisan politics and adopted sensationalistic journalism to build audiences for advertisers. He analyses the changes newspapers underwent in both content and appearance as the number of "fluff" pieces increased and hard news stories decreased, headlines became larger, prose became simpler, and illustrations and photographs became more abundant. From Politics to Profit highlights the increasingly powerful role of the press barons - Lord Atholstan, John Ross Robertson, Joseph Atkinson, Walter Nichol, Clifford Sifton, and the Southam family. Sotiron provides a case study of the first Canadian newspaper chain, which formed the basis for modern mass communication empires, and shows how the Southams contributed to the disappearance of independent newspapers in Canada.

Excerpt from How Can Canadian Universities Best Benefit the Profession of Journalism, as a Means of Moulding and Elevating Public Opinion?: A Collection of Essays One of the most important functions of universities has always been to prepare candidates for the professions of law, medicine and theology. In recent years, however, a new force has made its appearance, namely, the Press; and the question has naturally been raised as to whether it is to remain outside the university or be in some measure brought within its influence. Is it not desirable that the relations between the press and the university should in some way be better established? Can the university hope by means of the press to be of more direct advantage to the public at large? Led by these considerations the Chancellor of Queen's University, Sir Sandford Fleming, at the Alumni Conference in 1902, after consultation with the late Principal, announced his intention of instituting a prize essay competition on the following subject: "How can Canadian Universities best benefit the profession of Journalism, as a means of moulding and elevating public opinion?" Principal Peterson, of McGill, Principal Hutton, of University College, and Mr. Willison, the representative of the Canadian Press Association, aided the Chancellor and the Principal of Queen's in making the award. After a careful examination of the thirty-two essays sent in, it was decided that Mr. Colquhoun and Mr. Houston should divide the prize, each of these writers receiving $125.

Book Description
While there is nearly universal agreement that the media play a vital and defining role in democracy everywhere it exists, ironically they are often unpopular. However, the media in a democratic system must be credible and reliable lest they lose their influence and authority. It is usually acknowledged that democracy almost never flourishes without an effective, independent media. The contributors to "Media and Democracy "discuss these issues with the clear recognition that generalizing about the media is often perilous. In the opening section of this volume, "Definitive Questions," chapters by Leo Bogart and Denis McQuail explore the contemporary relationship between media and democracy and its implications for the future. The next section, "Media and the Dynamics of Democracy Around the World," opens with contributions from Vaclav Havel and Boutros Boutros-Ghali, former secretary-general of the United Nations. They are joined by authors who examine the relationship between media and democracy in specific locations around the world. The third part, "Journalism as a Democratic Discipline," explores the demands that democracy makes on journalists in chapters by Robert MacNeil, Brian Mulroney, and Margaret T. Gordon. In the final"section, "Democracy and New Media," Lawrence K. Grossman, Sara B. Ivry, and Andrew C. Gordon consider the implications for democracy of new media technologies. Christopher Dornan concludes the book with a review essay examining recent books on media and democracy. Ideally, democracy and media coexist and support each other through a process of negotiation hopefully aimed at developing a consensus about the public interest. "Media and Democracy "is an intriguing examination of these two important ingredients to American society. It will be of value to political scientists, communications scholars, media specialists, and sociologists.
