An LLP Singles essay
Do we want a public broadcaster? A trenchant analysis of the threat to our national broadcaster and a solution for radical change. Rowland draws on over thirty years experience in television production, network news management and media studies to present a plan to satisfy the country’s private broadcasting lobby and at the same time rejuvenate the CBC. Not since the Great Depression has there been such an opportunity for public service broadcasting in Canada to become all that it can be on all media platforms–and rival the best in the world.
