NFB, MIT Join Forces to Build Interactive Media Content. Rise in recorded music revenue is not all it seems | Media. The news that revenue from recorded music worldwide in 2012 grew for the first time since 1999 is surely heartening for an industry struggling to get to grips with digital and overcome piracy – even if it's just by 0.2% to $16.48bn. It is, however, worth noting that revenue levels are still down more than 40% from the halcyon days of the late 1990s when CDs reigned supreme and online filesharing was still over the horizon.
Looking deeper into the figures published by the international record label body IFPI reveals that things may not be as clear-cut as it first appears. Markets that have traditionally been performing the best are down while those that haven't are up. Revenue in Europe alone was down by 2.4% on the previous year (and down 42% on 1999). Of the top four markets only Japan saw an increase (4%), while US revenue was down by 0.5%, the UK by as much as 6.1%, and Germany by 4.6%. Untitled. From the desk of Katherine Carleton | Orchestras Canada. Posted on 31 August 2010. In late March of this year, I was asked to give a presentation on Canadian orchestras’ use of interns for the Music Training Advisory Committee of the Cultural Human Resources Council. This group – made up of music industry representatives, educators and professional musicians – meets annually to discuss CHRC research priorities, and update one another on training initiatives in the music industry.
It’s an interesting group, albeit one significantly more oriented towards the “industry” side of the music business than the resolutely not for profit world that Orchestras Canada’s members tend to inhabit. Nonetheless, once I talk myself through the differences in vocabulary, we generally mean the same things when we talk about the challenges, the needs and the compelling reasons for the work we do. Three different models of internship were identified/alluded to: Something that came across loud and clear: the eco-system is fragile. Ms. Katherine Carleton (Executive Director, Orchestras Canada) at the Canadian Heritage Committee. Katherine Carleton Executive Director, Orchestras Canada I'm grateful to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage for offering me the opportunity to speak with you today.
My name is Katherine Carleton. I am Executive Director of Orchestras Canada/Orchestres Canada. We are the united national voice of the Canadian orchestral community. We represent orchestras in every Canadian province: 46 professional orchestras, 42 community orchestras and 38 youth orchestras, with audiences of over 2.6 million Canadians in 2006-07 and annual budgets totaling over $150 million. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, both radio and television, has played a pivotal role in the development of musical culture in our country. A certain portion of the musical community has been given what amounts to six months' notice that much of this R and D investment is ending. What other impact might the changes at Radio 2 have?

Ça, nous le savons! Ce que nous ne savons pas, c'est que la crise économique sera destructrice d'entreprises et d'emplois, particulièrement dans le secteur de la culture.
Selon le Conference Board du Canada, le secteur culturel a généré 1,1 million d'emplois en 2007, et son empreinte économique s'élevait alors à 84,6 milliards de dollars, soit 7,4 % du PIB réel du pays, en tenant compte des contributions directes, indirectes et induites. Pour sa part, Statistique Canada rapporte que les revenus des organismes en arts de la scène atteignaient 1,2 milliard de dollars en 2004 et que les Canadiens ont dépensé environ 4 milliards pour les oeuvres, les événements artistiques et le cinéma en 2005.
Qui plus est, la culture est une «industrie propre»: elle ne pollue pas, elle n'entraîne pas la consommation de grandes quantités de ressources naturelles. Des indices qui ne trompent pas. People | Metcalf Foundation. ISRN Homepage. The Innovations Systems Research Network (ISRN) is a network of researchers examining innovation in various cities and regions across Canada. The members of the network are loosely associated with four sub-networks: in Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario and Western Canada. The ISRN's goal is to better understand how economic, social, and political conditions influence innovation and hence economic development at the local, regional, and national level. The knowledge resulting from this research is intended to assist policy-makers at all three levels of government to better understand innovation dynamics and craft more effective policy.

Check. Money? Check. So What's Keeping the Arts Sector from Embracing Active, Diverse Audience Engagement? A couple weeks ago, I had a conversation with a funder that shocked me. If you asked me a month ago what the biggest barrier was to American arts organizations adopting practices that support active engagement in the arts by diverse participants, I would have said two: money and legitimacy.
There are more than enough people in the field who are enthused about active participation, and recent reports like the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy's Fusing Arts, Culture, and Social Change have sparked field-wide conversations about how philanthropy might more equitably support institutions that serve marginalized communities. We have the arguments and the energy. So what's missing? Turns out it's not that simple. I was talking with Ted Russell, a senior program officer from the James Irvine Foundation, one of the biggest arts funders in California. I was thrilled when this happened for two reasons. But Ted made me realize it's not that easy. Why not? The economic imperative for investing in arts and culture. In this age of fiscal restraint, one of the easiest targets for spending cuts is the arts.
While our politicians do all the dirty work, voters are largely to blame because most of us don’t make too much fuss about it. Given the choice between a cultural centre or more hip replacements, it’s usually not a contest. But economically, we’re making a mistake. There are several reasons why investing in culture is an economic imperative. The first is that culture – including both arts and amateur sports – can mitigate the ups and downs of other industries. While this is true, it’s not the strongest economic case for public financing for arts and culture.
A better reason why the economy needs a strong cultural scene is that it helps to attract and retain labour. The third reason, however, is the most important. The important part, as Dr. This is where the economy benefits. The reality is that tax dollars are scarce. We have to stop thinking about arts and culture as simply nice-to-haves.
Canadian Cable, Satellite Financial Stats Released by CRTC. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) released statistical and financial information today on Canadian broadcasting distribution companies for the broadcast year ended August 31, 2012. During the past year, cable companies reported a modest growth in revenues and subscribers, while satellite companies recorded a decline in both categories. The combined revenues for these companies increased by 4.2%, from $13.5 billion in 2011 to $14.1 billion in 2012. Similarly, the total number of subscribers rose by 1% from 11.4 million to 11.5 million. Cable companies reported revenues of $11.6 billion in 2012, which were drawn from basic and non-basic television services as well as Internet access and telephone services.
This represented an increase of 5.7% over the previous year’s total revenues of $11 billion. Operating expenses were 5.8% higher during the same period, rising from $6.1 billion to $6.5 billion. Tous amis de Radio-Canada: 3e épisode de «À la défense du financement public de la SRC» Le groupe Les amis de Radio-Canada a mis en ligne le troisième et dernier épisode de sa série À la défense du financement public de la SRC. Il s'agit d'une campagne vidéo tournée à la sauce Bref, une websérie très populaire l'an dernier. L'initiative vise à dénoncer les compressions imposées par le gouvernement Harper à la Société Radio-Canada. La campagne vise à ramener le financement du diffuseur public à 40$ par habitant. Celui-ci était de 34$ en 2009, mais sera réduit à 29$ d'ici 2015. L'organisme Les amis de Radio-Canada est composé de la CSN, la Fédération nationale des communications et du syndicat de Radio-Canada.
