Defend or defund? The future of the CBC

A rapidly evolved media landscape has led to renewed calls for reform – or in some cases defunding – of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). What has changed in recent years that has led to these calls? What is the proper role of a public broadcaster in the digital age, and how can the CBC best fulfill that role? And how does the CBC fit with the government’s other initiatives regarding cultural content and news?

Join us for an exclusive 90-minute webinar moderated by Aaron Wudrick, Director of Domestic Policy Program at Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI). This webinar features industry experts including Globe and Mail columnist Andrew Coyne, former CBC producer Tara Henley, and MLI Senior Fellow Peter Menzies.
