Résumé anglais Broadcasting Independence in Canada and USA. Canada and the USA both have federal government with a strong tradition of democracy and decentralised authority where broadcasting is based on three basic principles that guarantee its independence: (1) private enterprise, within the limits of tradition and anti-trust legislation, (2) freedom of speech and press, tempered by a respect for privacy and the democratic values that prevail, and (3) self-imposed limitation of federal powers. As a result, both legislation and regulation are flexible. The Canadian CRTC (Conseil de la Radiodiffusion et des Télécommunications) and the US FCC (Fédéral Communications Commission) both regulate and monitor broadcasting by acting as government tribunals. They issue broadcasting licenses after summoning all parties concerned for public hearings.
