Druick (Simon Fraser U.) and Kotsopoulos (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) edit this series of essays on Canadian television programming that involves "imagined
communities," or themes that settle midway between reality TV and fictional plots. These articles explain how programming can be designed to reflect the values and cultures of Canada, and how
the citizens respond to developments in world news as well. Written for students and practitioners of North American media and communications, this book also explores the accuracy in which
Canadian history is portrayed on television. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
