Abstract

The press has always been thought of as an important facet of any liberal democracy. The press in canada has always played an important role in educating the population about the events and news of the day. However, for the press to truly perform its task in a liberal democracy, it needs to be independent of the government and special interests. These two groups in society began entering the picture in the 1950s and 1960s. We saw it with government in the 1960s as the popular press in canada was clearly presenting the news in a way that was favourable to the Liberal Party, and we began to see it with special interests as the media came under the control of fewer and fewer people and entities. (Kesterton, 1967: 251). Since then the issue of who controls the media has been an important topic of discussion, as the media is only as good as those presenting it, so it is important to understand media and the press from a broader perspective.
