Now drawing upon 40 years of data, this report places some of the most significant recent developments in the Canadian media and communications landscape – across markets, technologies and policies – in their proper context, identifying what is recurrent or novel, transitory or stable.  It also draws upon the latest data from the Global Media & Internet Concentration Project, to see where Canada sits by international comparison across key revenue and concentration metrics.
