		Likewise, in elections the media must serve as the guardian of democracy by informing citizens of the of the issues and candidates’ stand on the issues which matter most.

		The Craig pitch included the promise of ethnic and aboriginal programming, and 14.5 hours of local programming, 10 of which would be dedicated to in-depth reporting and investigative journalism, along with a Canadian variety show for new talent.
		John Doyle, media critic at The Globe and Mail, summed Toronto1 up as "a whole lot of nothing," saying most of what he saw in the first weeks couldn't be considered journalism.
		Craig Media was a successful good ol' local boy, but the addition of an urban station would round out the company's holdings and sweeten any potential sale.

	Media Meltdown
		Part guerrilla theatre, part performance art, this brand of media pranksterism was an act of deliberate provocation and the result of a politics of the everyday.
		Craig Baldwin's found footage work is thus an extension of a whole culture: a culture of community and collaboration; of people gathering in scenes, unified, like the Beatniks and Yippies of the past; a cinema of deliberate self exile from the mainstream, and active opposition to it.
		A cultural and economic climate of uncertainty and doubt during the 1990s infused the US media with an urgency and a liveliness borne directly from familiarity with decades of non-stop piped images and sounds.

	Playback - Articles - Craig Media on the block
		Toronto media experts suggest Craig, Canada's largest privately held broadcaster, will be lucky to reach $15 million in ad revenue from Toronto 1 in the first year.
		Craig's asking price is $400 million, which is roundly dismissed by industry analysts as twice that of the broadcaster's market value.
		The potential loss of Craig Media means an end to Western Canada's role in broadcasting, say observers, and suggests the era of the family-run business in a capital-intensive industry is done.

		Craig was aware of this policy framework when it filed its application, and it was based on the details of the application that the Commission considered and ultimately approved the proposal to provide a broadly based service for teens.

		Media coverage of the conflict in Kosovo cannot be studied in isolation.
		The media were generally so supportive of the Nato cause that there was little room for criticism on British TV or in the British press.
		Many in the media not only supported intervention, but actually wanted more intervention, and it seems at times they were willing to disregard or alter the facts in order to achieve this.

		At that time, Craig was practically debt free, unfettered by its partnership with Providence Equity and yet to be saddled by money-losing Toronto 1, said to be burning through as much as $1 million a week.
		Craig’s inability to transfer its Prairie broadcasting style to Hogtown raises a yellow caution flag with respect to the ability of regional broadcasters to take their show on the road to other markets.
		But media insiders point out that, with further consolidation looming in the Canadian broadcast sector, CHUM, which is controlled by the Waters family of Toronto, had reached a crossroads.

		Craig Media's decision "follows from a financial crisis brought on by weak financial results at its Western Canadian stations and greater-than-expected losses at Toronto 1," a letter to the commission from CHUM president Jay Switzer said.
		Craig Media breached financial covenants with its lenders, the letter said, so it couldn't draw down any more bank debt.
		Craig Media's financial position "remains tenuous" as it is responsible for all losses until the CHUM deal closes, the letter said.
