Document Summary

In canada, the us and the uk, it was world war ii that made new an inescapable part of radio"s daily diet. The war created a demand for news, a reliance on radio for that news, and even the profession of broadcast journalism itself. Radio was essentially about reading news obtained from other sources. Newspapers owned cp, and newspapers saw radio only as competition for their readership and advertising revenue. Charles jennings was the crbc"s first regular news announcer: frank willis and the moose river mine disaster. Every half-hour for one hundred and eleven hours, j. frank willis broadcast a live five- minute ad lib report from the site of the collapsed mine, assisted by a couple of technical operators. The cbc had no department with which to contextualize the news report or provide ongoing coverage in any meaningful way. Crime stories had to be handled with direction and like all news stores, written so as not to create alarm.
