Abstract: AVIS:L'auteur a accorde une licence non exclusive permettant a la Bibliotheque et Archives Canada de reproduire, publier, archiver, sauvegarder, conserver, transmettre au public par telecommunication ou par I'lnternet, preter, distribuer et vendre des theses partout dans le monde, a des fins commerciales ou autres, sur support microforme, papier, electronique et/ou autres formats.I have many to thank for their input and support during the two years of my MA work.Not the least is the Government of Ontario, which has graciously provided me with two years of Ontario Graduate Scholarship funding.Without this generous support, this journey would have been very different.The administration staff of the Department of Communication also deserve sincere thanks, particularly Coleen Komelsen for her reassurance and support in all things to do with university bureaucracy.Thanks as well to Cindy Kardash-Lalonde for always lending an ear and for making endless pots of coffee.All of the faculty of the Department of Communication have played a role in my academic development, and I am grateful to be part of such a vibrant and supportive community.In particular I would like to thank my committee, Sheryl Hamilton, Miranda Brady and Justin Paulson.My most sincere and heartfelt thanks are reserved for my supervisor, Sheryl Hamilton and my husband, Robert Maher.Sheryl, thank you for your patience
