CBC is a microcosm of the world we’re covering and the public we serve, and the Israel-Hamas war is one of the most divisive stories we’ve covered in years. A recent article called that coverage into question. CBC’s general manager and editor in chief, Brodie Fenlon, responds.

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.

Impartiality is attached to the journalism we produce and how we produce it. When a CBC journalist is assigned to report on something, their story has not been pre-written or preordained but is approached with fairness and an open mind. 

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.
