Canadian media theorists

Canadian media theorists analyze how media shapes culture, identity, and communication, often emphasizing regional perspectives and social contexts. They explore how different forms of media—like television, radio, and digital platforms—affect perceptions, power, and society. Notable figures include Harold Innis, who studied how media influences the economy and civilization, and Marshall McLuhan, famous for coining "the medium is the message," highlighting how the form of communication impacts society. These theorists help us understand the role of media in shaping Canadian identity and global cultural dynamics.
