Mapping Canadian Diasporic Media: The Existence and Significance of Communicative Spaces for Overseas Canadians

Abstract:

To understand how Canadian diasporas are established as communities, this study mapped the communication infrastructure of the Canadian diaspora. That is, media and organizations established within diasporic communities. This study identified 60 Canadian diasporic media, 53 organizations and 110 alumni networks in 12 selected destinations in Asia, Europe, North America and the Middle East. This study finds that the largest communications infrastructure has been established in the US (58), followed by the UK (37), China (24), Hong Kong (23), and France (22).
