New Report Calls for Bold, Systemic Reform of the CBC/Radio-Canada
This report presents the findings of a two-year study that draws on best practices in public service media from within Canada and in 17 other countries around the world. It is informed by consultation with a broad range of media and public media experts, as well as insights from our national survey, “Do We Need the CBC?” We sought to understand the current role of public media in the larger Canadian media landscape, to assess its relevance, and to propose appropriate recommendations to bring the CBC/Radio-Canada — and the resources allocated to it — in line with needs and expectations of Canadians today.
