At story meetings when Andrew Coyne raises his voice/hand with ‘I can do that, I know about that’ other participants present should be more skeptical. I suggest that Mr. Coyne’s thoughts on the politics of cultural subsidies are not as logical and mould-breaking as he would have us all believe.
Take his statement that the only reason that the Canadian Conference for the Arts exists is to lobby for more funding. From my perspective as a news media consumer, the CCA allows media corporations to get fast responses to breaking cultural policy stories from an ‘authorative source’. As the Globe rarely bothers to quote other valid sources on issues of cultural policy maybe (just as it charges for its InfoGlobe) the Globe and Mail should be helping to fund CCA by paying for its service?
