Raves in Toronto / Canadian news media

On the website Tribe.ca, Mark A. McCutcheon has shared the list, Raves in the Canadian public sphere: a working bibliography, 1992-2006. McCutcheon was a "media watchdog," in his own words, for the Party People Project (PPP) of Toronto, which was formed in response to the police crackdown there.

This is the Toronto equivalent to the list "Raves in Edmonton news media (titles)" which is a part of this blog. A future post will lay these two media chronologies side by side, Edmonton next to Toronto.

Headlines are not quite facts... rather, they are artifacts of an struggle to control discourse. Headlines, as much the content of articles, are political. They are an interesting read in and of themselves. All the articles listed are available somewhere if you want to do additional research. McCutcheon calls his project "an interesting snapshot of how the powers that be have been duking it out with the powers that would be over the meaning and value of a good night out (and how headlines can loop like broken records)."
