Summary: The cultural industries are a multi-billion dollar business in Canada. Television, radio, books, magazines, newspapers, films and records add up to a major portion of the economy. Many major corporations, Canadian and foreign-, from Maclean-Hunter to CTV, Thomson, and CBS, belong to this sector. In this pioneering book, Paul Audley brings together all the data on the cultural industries. He offers profiles of each industry and the key policy issues facing each. And he discusses how the business side of each relates to its cultural performance. What is special about the cultural industries is that they are more than just businesses. They play a vital role in influencing how we see ourselves and know ourselves, as Canadians. A unique feature of Paul Audley's work is that he understands both aspects of these industries, and he shows how the business structure of each of them relates to the contribution it makes -or does not make- to Canadian cultural life. This book is the first to offer an overall profile of Canada's cultural industries - and the first to provide the background on their business activities necessary to discuss their cultural rale.
