CBC head of journalistic standards also addressed concern over objectivity following CEO\u0027s criticism of Poilievre in interview
The Globe and Mail reported in February based on an interview with Catherine Tait that she was preparing to end traditional TV and radio broadcasts and move completely to a digital platform, but that this likely wouldn’t happen in the next decade.Emails that discussed the unease of CBC staff in the wake of that report were disclosed to The Canadian Press under access-to-information law.
Some journalists “expressed concern about the opinions shared by Catherine around political campaigning and Canadians opposed to funding CBC,” one email shows. It was noted in another email that Tait would continue to discuss the importance of the public broadcaster with politicians from all parties. They wanted to know where the 10-year window came from and why it appeared in the Globe newspaper for the first time, with one email saying Tait’s remarks fell outside the spirit of “no surprises.”
“Is there someone you can speak to there and ask them to read the article and not get sucked in by click bait. We are not abandoning TV and radio ffs,” Poulter asked a colleague in another email, using an abbreviation for an expletive.Article contentThey show that Tait’s comments also invited criticism from the general public.
