| Descripción: | Abstract: This is the first academic study to attempt to understand more about the men and women who make key decisions in television newsrooms across Canada. The authors surveyed all television news directors across the country. The research reveals that, unlike in the United States, the voting patterns of news directors mirror those of the general Canadian population. It reveals that news directors are more secular than those in the general population. The research also uncovered significant demographic differences between CBC and private sector news directors. Finally, it suggests that women and ethnic minorities are dramatically underrepresented in senior positions. Résumé : Cette étude est la première de niveau académique à essayer de mieux comprendre les hommes et les femmes qui prennent les décisions clés dans les salles de rédaction télévisuelles au Canada. Les auteurs ont sondé tous les chefs des informations télévisuelles au pays. La recherche révèle que, contrairement aux États-Unis, les votes que font les chefs des informations correspondent à ceux de la population en général. La recherche a aussi repéré des différences démographiques significatives entre les chefs des informations de la SRC et ceux du secteur privé. Enfin, les résultats indiquent que les femmes et les minorités ethniques ont une représentation très faible dans les postes supérieurs. |
