Un/Covering the North
News, Media, and Aboriginal People
Valerie Alia
[UBC PRESS • BOOKS IN NATIVE STUDIES}
Un/Covering the North provides a comprehensive survey of communications in the circumpolar region, focusing on the Canadian Arctic and sub-Arctic but also looking at the circumpolar North (Alaska, Siberia, Greenland, and
the Nordic/Saami nations). Radio, television, magazines, newspapers, and web sites are all covered. In the process, Valerie Alia engages such underexplored topics as the history of northern media, the ethics of journalism about the North, comparative perceptions of the North in northern and southern newspapers, and the representation of Aboriginal people in film, television, radio, and print. Though many communications developments in the Canadian North are modest and ad hoc, others have a global reach. As technologies and access improve, Aboriginal people are increasingly taking control of their own representation and consolidating their presence in northern media.

Valerie Alia teaches in the Departments of Media & Cultural Studies and Journalism at the University of Sunderland in the UK.
