=09=09     Spry Memorial Lecture:

=09=09    Dr. Ruth Teer-Tomaselli
   "The Public Broadcaster and Democracy in Transformation"
  Montreal, November 5, 1996 / Vancouver, November 13, 1996

The University of Montreal and Simon Fraser University have
received an extraordinary endowment from the friends and family
of the late Graham Spry, a champion of Canadian public broadcasting.
The purpose of this endowment is to sponsor an annual public lecture
and related academic activities relevant to the promotion of public
broadcasting in Canada.

The first Spry memorial lecturer, Dr. Ruth Teer-Tomaselli of the
University of Natal, Durban, South Africa, will be in Montreal
November 4-8 and in Vancouver November 11-15, 1996.

As well as lecuring in the Centre for Cultural and Media Studies
at the University of Natal, Dr. Teer-Tomaselli is also a Board
Member of the South African Broadcasting Corporation and chair
of the SABC Committee on the Independent Broadcasting Authority.

On the basis of her academic work and her involvement in the
post-apartheid reform of the South African Broadcasting Corporation,
Dr. Ruth Teer-Tomaselli will bring an important perspective to the issues
facing public broadcasting. Her insight into the pertinence of public
broadcasting in a process of democratic renewal will be particularly
interesting in light of Canada's own broadcasting policy debates.
