Educational Media = Provincial Communications Authority

Some of you may know that the provincial government has entered
the educational television field. A five-person Provincial Communications
Authority has been established - all civil servants - two from the
Department of Education, two from the Department of Transport and
Communications and one from the Provincial Secretary Department.

As you may imagine it is of vital interest to us all how educational
media are developed in B.C. The issues of copyright, and fees, and the
role of educators in the development and use of educational media, are
very important to us as college faculty.

The College Faculties Federation of B.C. has established a committee
of representatives from every college in the province that will meet with
the University Faculty Association of B.C. and the B.C. Teachers Federation
in order to draft proposals to protect and develop a role for educators
in media. I wish to congratulate Jim Sellers who has agreed to represent
Douglas College Faculty Association on this committee which is headed by

Arthur Pape and Jim Bizzocchi of Capilano College.

CFF Director
