Editing Keith Davey (section)

===Senator (1966-1996)===
Davey was appointed to the [[Senate of Canada]] by [[Lester Pearson]] in 1966, just before his 40th birthday. He resigned in 1996.

In 1969, Davey chaired the Special Committee on Mass Media. [[Terence Corcoran]] argues that it was Davey's contention that a subsidized press is necessary "to supplement the privately owned media" which "were a menace to a democratic society."<ref name="tcnp">{{cite news |last1=Corcoran |first1=Terence |title=Government to the newspaper industry's rescue?
