History of the CBC Building In the early 90s the CBC Toronto building was built. Before the structure was created, 21 offices existed within Toronto. The final CBC Toronto tower was an effort to bring all the offices together. Changes Within the Newsroom Within the news environment changes are constantly taking place. Whether that be new equipment, changes in staff members or changes in structure; being adaptable is the key to succeed in this industry. Currently at the CBC some transformations are about to take place. There is now going to be a new method for gathering information that will change the way reporters collect information for upcoming stories. Additionally, The National has just hired four new hosts; this means there will be new methods and techniques that the camera crew, floor directors, and hosts must develop. The Newsroom The CBC currently has an integrated newsroom. This means all desks and …show more content…
Another change that took place was moving this suite into the middle of the room. Radio Booth WheIn the radio booth the host sits down with a copy or their script. Some hosts have it printed on paper while others choose to use a laptop. In the booth there is a phone to use during the show where guests can call in and voice their opinion. The aspect on the radio booth I found interesting was the TV. This allows the host to watch breaking news as it unfolds. On the other side of the glass is where the producer sits. This is where the producer can assist the host during the show and the host can communicate through the talk back button. Key Lessons Learned All CBC employees conveyed the message that being flexible is an important characteristic to have in this industry. As Christine said when she visited never say no. You don’t know what you are saying no to. Be open-minded and maintain a positive attitude. Fun things I learned at the

In the documentary film, Page One: Inside The New York Times, the inner world of journalism is revealed through journalists David Carr and Brian Stelter as the newspaper company The New York Times, struggles to keep alive within a new wave of news journalism. The film is dedicated to reveal the true inner mechanics of what modern day new journalists face on a daily basis and leaves the audience almost in a state of shock. It broadcasts news journalism as yes, an old school method of news generation, but it also highlights an important component that reveals the importance behind this “old school” methodology. We often think that progression always correlates with positive products, but the documentary insists that within the case of modern journalism, the new wave method is actually a detriment that can reap negative consequences.
Taras examines the commitments and values of CBC with the Canadian government and the citizens. He looked at a particular case of when CBC clashed with the government, and how CBC struggled to keep their TV programs running (Taras, pp.4-5). Next he talked about how the media industry is being taken controlled by powerful corporation and claims that PSB have the responsibility to protect the minorities (Taras, p.6). Subsequently, Taras discussed the ups and downs CBC had gone through until this day. Lastly, Taras explores the complex and intimate relationship between public broadcasters and the government; how they take advantage of each other to accomplish their goals. Ultimately, Taras believes that PSB will continue to have an impact in society despite living in a generation of digital media.

...use to save it. After a series of changes, the building came to be valued as a museum in 1960. (City of Toronto website, 2014)The museum tells about a Victorian house belonged to a political reformer who led people to freedom. It tells the story of a man who led 1837 Upper Canada Rebellion against the government. (Hume, 2011)Some people visit the museum for the history, while others are interested in the ghost stories. (Chris Raible Special to The Star, 1988)The museum belongs to the Toronto municipality today and can be visited every day. A few might visit simply because it is a fine example of late-Georgian architecture. (Hume, 2011)
Throughout Canada’s history, many changes were occurring and still is until this day by very important prime ministers in the past 20th century as well as made what Canada for what it is. Each and every Great Prime Minister from the Liberal Party had a crucial role in their ways of thinking, actions, and achieving their objectives towards Canada.
In the beginning of the 1960’s, talk shows were usually devoted to either light entertainment containing comedy, celebrity guests, and music or more serious discussions of the news and politics. They were created based on “controlled spontaneity.” Talk shows covered a variety of topics from the news to gossip, sports to religion, and hobbies to advice (Gregg, McDonogh, Wong). Hosts like Geraldo Rivera pursued formats that were similar to this; however, when Oprah was brought into the picture, she set herself apart from other talk shows of that time and changed daytime talk shows from being gossipy to intimate (News discovery).
The target audience are mainly adults who are not the household shopper. It is aired later on in the evening, due to its adult content. TV3 works together with its competitors and uses the echo pre echo method to distribute TV audiences evenly. The show has all the main elements of a celebrity talk show but structures them differently. It is structured in a way, in which there is more focus towards the celebrities, other than anything else. This structure would make the show more appealing to the target audience, who are there to watch a celebrity talk show, where they would like to hear the celebrities talk. Several production techniques were used to contribute towards the audience’s appeal. The camera work was used to display emotions and create immersion. Very little visual effects were used, to prevent distraction from the celebrities. The lighting was drastically changed during the performance, to add focus on the performer. Sound was used to create a positive atmosphere and was also used to make the audience feel immersed. Finally vision mixing and editing assisted in providing more detail as to what is being discussed, making it easier for the audience to understand as to what is going on. Therefore these production techniques assist in easier viewing, which makes the show more appealing to the target
When daytime talk show programs first appeared on television in the 1950s, they mostly consisted of celebrities gathered around a coffee table discussing secrets about trivial things, such as how to make the best sponge cake. It is unlikely that these shows promoted positive changes in the lives of their viewers in any substantial way. In the early 1970s, Phil Donahue introduced a new variety of talk show. His show was characterized as "an exercise in sociopolitical discourse," but was, in actuality, more successful for its coverage of titillating issues than important ones (Moorti sc 2-3).
Meaning it encouraged for the provision of a wide range of programming that reflects Canadian attitudes, opinions, ideas, values, and artistic creativity, and the displaying of Canadian talent in entertainment programming. Also, the system should offer information and analysis concerning Canada and other countries from a Canadian point of view. CBC must ensure that at least 60 percent of its overall schedule, measured during the day ( 6 a.m. to midnight), is Canadian content. By being predominantly based in Canada CBC helps to supply jobs to the Canadian people, as well as promoting Canadian brands and people. Citizens view CBC as one of this country's greatest cultural institutions.”The CBC is Canada. Growing up in Toronto as a young boy hearing “This is the CBC” followed immediately by “Ici Radio Canada” at the start of every morning, I thought: “Wow! The whole country is hearing this right now” and quickly visualized the Maritimes, Quebec City, northern Ontario, the Prairies and B.C.’s mountains. So few words, yet so much country — so much pride.” This quote was said by an unknown Canadian citizens when speaking out about the recent budget cuts taken towards the broadcasting
One of my favorite aspects of this show was the onstage seating. I think that it’s a wonderful way to arrange Virginia Repertory Theatre’s Theatre Gym and a wonderful way to play towards all parts of the stage. This gave the audience the opportunity to feel as if they were in the home itself. While sitting on stage left I felt included in every scene and that I was never subjected to starting at the actors’ backs. In fact, some scenes were

From exchange information via radio to have a having a television channel’s primary objective be producing news, the news media have grown in the methods notifying the public.
