Keith Spicer est l'animateur du deuxième forum du Colloque. Le thème en est "Le traitement de la Crise d'octobre par les médias canadiens", ou, selon M. Spicer, "L'analyse de la Crise d'octobre". L'animateur fait allusion aux documents peu nombreux, dont la plupart a été conservée par les Archives qui ont traité des événements. He praises writers of contemporary history and journalists who covered the crisis for their balanced and objective reporting and commentaries. Le panel est composé des orateurs suivants: Marc Thibault, anciennement directeur du service des nouvelles à Radio-Canada, Louis Roberge, Université Laval, Morris Wolfe, media critic and author, Arthur Siegel, York University, Terry Hargreaves, senior assignment editor for English news at the CBC and Marc Raboy, Université Laval. À la demande de M. Spicer, les sept membres de la table ronde consacrent un certain temps à leurs déclarations préliminaires portant sur leurs fonctions à l'époque, leurs impressions de ce qui s'est passé et leurs analyses historiques à la lumière de la société contemporaine. Tous semble d'accord qu'on a été pris au dépourvu par les événements. On ignorait quoique ce soit des terroristes. On réagissait aux rumeurs, surtout quant au sort de James Cross et Pierre Laporte. On déplorait les mesures de sécurité prises par les autorités en ce qui concernait les nouvelles qu'on devait diffuser, les mouvements des journalistes eux-mêmes et l'incarcération de certains individus suspects. On commentait sur l'obligation de se prêter à la loi sur les mesures de guerre et de diffuser le manifeste de la FLQ.~Au Canada anglais, on croyait d'abord qu'il s'agissait d'un crime politique quelconque sans rapport avec les aspirations de la société québécoise. On analysing the outcome, however, these journalists agreed to a new outlook on the issues that were important to Quebec and to the entire country. Most speakers thought that the handling of the crisis by the federal government and the media did not put either institution in the best of light. The invocation of the War Measures Act seemed to be, in retrospect, an over-reaction, in view of the lack of evidence as to what was going on. The media's deference to authority, their acting as conduits for FLQ demands and their inability to take further developments in their stride is held against them. The majority of speakers said that without the advantage of hindsight, the media and the government would probably act the same way if the problem were to recur. Several clips were shown and commented on by everyone. Questions and answers followed.
