There are a number of important initiatives underway to build CBC News service and connection in small communities — including a significant expansion of local journalism in underserved markets.

Today, there is no less urgency for the need to cover the story of climate and our changing planet. We seem to reel from one climate-related crisis to another, writes Brodie Fenlon.

For CBC News, local service means being in the community. But it also means being present on the platforms and devices that an increasing number of people use to access news and information. That’s why today we announced the official launch of two new local news streaming channels, along with plans to launch another 12 free local streams within a year.
