| Descripción: | Abstract: In October 2005, B.C. public school teachers conducted a two-and-a- half-week illegal strike that attracted widespread support from the public. This article conducts a comparative content and discourse analysis of the news coverage provided by the leading provincial outlets in three media types: The Vancouver Sun (newspaper), the News Hour on Global (television), and The Bill Good Show (political talk radio). The Bill Good Show’s open-ended, participatory format, coupled with the host’s commitment to journalistic norms of objectivity and diversity, allowed teachers to play an active and significant role in shaping discussion and debate about the strike. Conversely, coverage by The Vancouver Sun and the News Hour, both owned by CanWest Global, largely failed to reflect public opinion and instead reproduced the ideological bias of conventional strike scripts.Résumé: En octobre 2005, les enseignants des écoles publiques de la Colombie-Britannique ont mené une grève illégale de deux semaines et demie qui a suscité l'appui du public. Cet article effectue une analyse de contenu et de discours comparative de la couverture médiatique fournie par des représentants importants de trois formes de média dans la province : le Vancouver Sun (quotidien), le News Hour on Global (journal télévisé) et le Bill Good Show (radio parlée politique). Le format ouvert et interactif de ce dernier, doublé d'un engagement de la part de l'animateur envers les normes journalistiques d'objectivité et de diversité, a permis aux enseignants de jouer un rôle actif et important dans les discussions et débats entourant la grève. En revanche, la couverture du Sunet du News Hour, tous les deux propriétés de CanWest Global, n'a pas reflété l'opinion publique, reproduisant plutôt des partis pris idéologiques entourant les discours conventionnels sur les grèves. |
