Show detail Hide detail

This consists of a variety of individual film segments prepared for a program in the weekly half-hour CJOH-produced series HOUSE ON THE HILL, about federal politics and the operation of the House of Commons and the Senate. These segments do not constitute complete progrms as broadcast and include a mixture of edited and unedited footage at various pre-production stages. The segments are as follows: Richard Jackson describes the parliamentary press gallery as it was when he first became a member in the days of William Lyon Mackenzie King. He comments on how the admission of broadcast journalists to the gallery was a major issue because the print media feared radio and television broadcasters would "overrun the place". There is a shot of the room in the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings in which the press gallery journalists work. Journalist Jean-Marc Poliquin talks about the greater interest of the Quebec media in the National Assembly rather than in the House of Commons. Reporter Susan Riley talks about how working in the gallery changes how and what reporters cover. She characterizes the stereotypical gallery member as a being an Upper Canada College graduate attired in a three-piece suit. Richard Jackson concludes that the younger members of the gallery are more serious than journalists were in the past.
