  1. Britain's Own Pravda-Style Propaganda
    Ten Years Of 'Involvement' In Afghanistan
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2011
    Imagine Britain had been invaded and occupied by armed forces from another region of the world with China, for example, as a significant ‘partner’ in the ‘coalition’. Imagine tens of thousands of Britons had been killed, and millions had fled as refugees. This is how the Chinese state broadcaster might report the invasion ten years hence:
    'It’s ten years this week since Chinese forces first became involved in Britain, and more than five years since they assumed responsibility for south-east England. So what's been achieved in that time?'
    These were the actual words that presenter Fiona Bruce used on the flagship BBC News at Ten:
    'It’s ten years this week since British forces first became involved in Afghanistan, and more than five years since they assumed responsibility for Helmand province. So what's been achieved in that time?'
  2. Cuts, Canadian Culture and the CBC
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1986
    Canadian drams gives us a sense of community.
  3. Decline and Fall of Public Service Broadcasting
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1998
    In a public system, television producers acquire money to make programmes. In a commercial system they make programmes to acquire money. However simple, this little epigram articulates the divergence of basic principles, the different philosophical assumptions, on which broadcasting is built.
  4. A Goal for National Survival: 50% Canadian TV Content
    Resource Type: Article
    The destruction of the CBC would be the greatest disaster to befall Canada.
  5. 'A Load Of Tosh'– The BBC, 'Showbiz News' And State Propaganda
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2018
    BBC News reporting on international relations, with particular reference to 2017-2018 tensions with Russia, relies heavily on state propaganda.
  6. MediaSources.ca
    Resource Type: Website
    First Published: 2017
    A web portal featuring resources about media and the media industry, with articles, documents, books, websites, and experts and spokespersons. The home page features a selection of recent and important articles. A search feature, subject index, and other research tools make it possible to find additional resources and information.
  7. Only Connect
    On Culture and Communication
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1972
  8. Public Broadcasting is Cultural National Defence
    Resource Type: Article
    The role of the national public broadcaster is to do those things which private broadcasters have demonstrated they will not, or cannot, accomplish.
  9. What needs to happen to save and rebuild the CBC
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2014
    Can the CBC be saved and restored? Probably. But it will take some time and some good luck, as well as some heavy duty political lobbying. It is important that CBC supporters, including those who have fallen by the wayside during the destructive Harper years, unite behind some common goals and pressure the two opposition leaders to commit themselves to restoring the Corporation to its proper role in the country.

Mission Connexions exists to support individuals and groups working for freedom and social justice. We work to maintain and make available a record of the theory and practice of people struggling against oppression and for social change. We believe that the more we know about the struggles, victories, and defeats of the past, and about those who took part in them, the better equipped we will be to bring a new world into being. Connexions maintains a physical archive of books and documents, and is engaged in an ongoing project to build and expand an indexed digital archive of documents. We try to feature a wide variety of resources reflecting a diversity of viewpoints and approaches to social change within our overall mandate of support for democracy, civil liberties, freedom of expression, universal human rights, secularism, equality, economic justice, environmental responsibility, and the creation and preservation of community. We are internationalist in our orientation, but as a Canadian-based project we feature an especially extensive collection of Canadian documents and profiles of Canadian activist organizations.
