CBC News, established in 1941, is Canada’s publicly funded news and information provider. Operating nationwide, we cover Canadian and global news to offer a uniquely Canadian perspective on current events. Our core mission is to inform, enlighten, foster public discourse, and promote civic engagement in our democratic society.
With a network of journalists in over 40 Canadian cities, we maintain bureaus in key international locations such as London, Washington, New York City, and Mumbai. Additionally, our French-language service, Radio-Canada Info, has global bureaus in Paris, Washington, Taipei, and Istanbul. To ensure comprehensive coverage, CBC News establishes temporary bureaus when specific stories or regions require additional attention.

We are committed to reflecting the diverse viewpoints and experiences of all Canadians in our news coverage. Upholding the principles of accuracy, fairness, balance, impartiality, and integrity, we strive to maintain the highest journalistic standards.
Emphasizing transparency and accountability, we promptly correct any errors and keep our audience informed of significant updates. Our ombudsman’s office oversees adherence to our journalistic standards and practices, ensuring public trust and accountability. Readers can easily access information on how we uphold our journalism quality and standards.
As a member of The Trust Project, CBC News collaborates with global news organizations to promote transparent and accurate reporting. Through the Journalism Trust Initiative, we were the first Canadian broadcast media to receive certification from Reporters Without Borders. To maintain transparency, we openly track and share significant corrections or clarifications made to our news reports.
To assist readers in navigating our content, we label stories to distinguish breaking news, live elements, analysis, opinion pieces, and personal narratives. By providing diverse perspectives, we aim to offer a comprehensive view across our platforms. Additionally, we clearly indicate authorship and sources in our news stories, ensuring transparency and credibility.
