The aim of this study is to examine the activities of each Canadian Provincial Department of Education with respect to educational media. This is done with the aid of a questionnaire, developed specifically for this study. -- From the information obtained, the media programs of each of the ten provinces were examined and analyzed, firstly by province and secondly by function. As well as determining the existing situation, the study also discovered how experts in the field of educational media feel about development of provincial media programs. -- It is hoped that the study will provide some input into future development of provincial media programs. A more detailed examination of the situation in Newfoundland, leads to specific recommendations for the Department of Education of this province regarding reorganization of the Division of Instructional Materials.
