Inhaltsangabe

<jats:p> The development of Canadian broadcast policy and law respecting “content balance” (and corollary notions of public “access and reply” entitlements, “abusive speech,” and “controversial issues of public importance”) exhibits significant definitional vagueness and discontinuity.

These materials lead them to reject the notion of content balance as an element of regulatory terminology. </jats:p>
