CS101 Chapter Notes - Chapter 15: Social Inequality
Document Summary
Chapter 15-blind spots on labour, corporate power and social inequality. One of the most serious blind spots in the canadian news agenda is the lack of attention given to the consequences of social inequality and unfettered corporate power in canada. Canada"s labour scene: covering (up) the world of work. When we think of business news we think about entrepreneurs and marketers, but we od not think of customer service, factory workers, and people who work in offices. In turn we have a one sided view of the world of work. Labour is typically portrayed as the active and disruptive party. For both 1987 and 1997 the sun extended twice as much coverage to business as to labour. News on labour is way more likely to be downbeat. Apart from the imbalance of tone and sources, business topics simply received much more attention than did labour.
