Un/covering the North: News, Media and Aboriginal PeopleUn/Covering the North provides a comprehensive survey of northern communications, focusing on the Canadian Arctic and sub-Arctic but also looking at the circumpolar region (Alaska, Siberia, Greenland, and the Nordic/Sami nations). Radio, television, magazines, newspapers, and web sites are all covered in the process. Valerie Alia engages such underexplored topics as the history of northern media, the ethics of journalism about the North, comparative perceptions of the North in northern and southern newspapers, and the representation of Aboriginal people in film, television radio, and print. |
