Chairing the 14th session, Eric Friesen, American Public Radio, introduces himself, the topic of the session and the panelists. The first speaker is Robert Hackett, Simon Fraser University. He opens his presentation with statements regarding the role of the media in defining foreign policy through reporting on issues affecting international relations. He implies that information broadcast by western capitalist international news agencies prompt Third World demands for new information patterns and gives reasons for these demands. In considering whether or not these demands are directed towards Canadian agencies as well, he reports on his statistical study regarding aspects of Canadian news reporting that might be objectionable to the Third World. In concluding, he interprets his findings with regard to various considerations such as journalistic criteria, ideological and cultural conceptions, the logistics of news production, the degree of government interference, etc. The next speakers are Bill Cooper and Roger Tétrault, Radio Canada International. The two presenters alternate in English and French in describing Radio Canada International and its work. Cooper gives an historical perspective of the development of RCI, the reasons for its creation, etc., illustrating his comments with audio clips. Further on, he talks about different approaches employed by the service in reaching different target audiences throughout the world. His statistics concerning these audiences lead Hackett to point out the comparative size of Radio Canada International and other agencies, the praise it received and the degree of credibility.~Roger Tétrault, à son tour, nous parle des émissions de Radio Canada International, de leurs caractéristiques, de l'origine des nouvelles et des fins que Radio Canada International se propose d'atteindre à l'étranger. M. Tétrault s'arrête sur l'usage du français à Radio Canada International et termine en faisant allusion à l'influence de la nouvelle élite québécoise dans les affaires du département. Eric Friesen confirms what Cooper and Tétrault said respecting the reception of Canadian news in the United States. At the end of the session, David Levy, editorial consultant, speaks from the floor about his experiences as a CBC correspondent in Moscow, his relationship with the Soviets, his work, his news sources there, etc. He goes on to mention his freelancing period and his relationship with Radio Canada International. Comments, questions and answers end the session.
