Bio
Hello! I am a Professor at the School of Journalism and Communication, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. My work focuses on the political economy of the 'traditional' and 'digital' media industries in Canada, the United States and globally, media history, regulation, surveillance, trust, risk, theories of democracy and global communication. My last book, Communication and Empire: Media, Markets and Globalization, 1860-1930 (2007, Duke University Press) (co-authored with Robert M. Pike), won the Canadian Communication Association’s G.G. Robinson Award for best book of the year in 2008. I am also the author of Reconvergence (Hampton Press, 1998) and the editor or co-editor of three other books, with two more in the works and likely to be ready in a year or so. Most of my work right now is on those projects but I am also a member of the International Media Concentration Research Project. I have published widely on these topics in many edited collections and academic journals, but from time to time am invited to share my views with journalists, the unions that represent media workers and regulators. Born and raised in Windsor, Ontario, I moved to Ottawa in 1998 after having spent a decade living and teaching in Britain, the People’s Republic of China, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the United States.
