Fourth Reading is a weekly current events newsmagazine series in Canada, airing on TVOntario from 1992 to 2006.[1]
History
It was hosted by Steve Paikin. Its name derived from the parliamentary convention that a bill receives three readings in a legislative house before becoming law; media coverage would therefore constitute a "fourth reading".
The show covered provincial politics in Ontario, and national political issues affecting the province, through news reportage, interviews and panel discussions.[1]
The show premiered in 1992, soon after Paikin joined the network as host of its flagship news series Between the Lines.[2] In 1994, Between the Lines was replaced with Studio 2, although Fourth Reading continued to air;[3] however, when Studio 2 was replaced with The Agenda in 2006, Fourth Reading ceased to air as a standalone program, and was subsumed into The Agenda as a weekly panel segment.[4]
