MEDIA AND POSTAL COMMUNICATIONS
Jay Brecher, B.A., LL.B.
In stark contrast to the telecommunications industry in Canada, which is highly regulated, the newspaper media is almost entirely unregulated.

Topics covered include:
- The regulatory framework for newspapers
- Press Councils and initiatives to support the journalism industry
- Governance of Canada Post Corporation
- Mandate, liability and powers of the post office
- Postal-related offences and penalties
