- Abstract
In 2008, the Quebec Press Council toured Quebec's administrative regions in order to study the public's and socioeconomic decisionmaker's perceptions of the news. Over a period of five months, more than 200 organizations and 250 citizens were consulted. This research note discusses these meetings and explores First Nations' expectations regarding the media, as well as the media's portrayal of First Nations. The author analyzes for the first time, the opinions put forward by Innus (Montagnais), Cree and Inuit. These participants expressed their opinions over access to and quality of information, including concerns over limited access to national media and the challenges facing regional media in covering the huge territories. Also addressed are the issues of limited regional representation within the national media and the romanticizing of First Nations. This article brings to light the current state of affairs as well as the issues at stake for First Nations representatives and current endeavours to outline possible solutions as brought forward by participants.
