The Canadian Ethnic Media Association extends an exclusive invitation to its Members to attend the second instalment of its Speakers Bureau for 2021. Guest speaker Mark Hayward, Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at York University, and author of the recent book, Identity and Industry: Making Media Multicultural in Canada will discuss his book and comment on recent government proposed amendments to the Canadian Broadcast Act (Bill C-10). Thursday, March 4, 2021, 7:00 p.m.
This very timely discussion comes as Bill C-10, intended to modernize how the federal government will regulate online media distribution, skirts a commitment to, and clarification of how it will protect and support the media of racialized, diverse ethno-cultural and Indigenous communities. The Bill passed second reading on February 18, and has been forwarded to the Minister of Canadian Heritage, the Honourable Steven Guilbeault.
Don’t miss this important discussion of how this affects you, the conveyors of multicultural and multilingual broadcast news and public affairs programming. This is an exclusive opportunity made available to you for access to the insight and opinion of Hayward’s outstanding expertise on this topic.
