Canada’s public broadcaster is operating under a mandate last updated in 1991.

Since then, the media environment has transformed — from streaming platforms to social media to AI-generated misinformation.

As discussions begin around modernizing CBC/Radio-Canada’s mandate, we’ll be exploring what public media should look like in 2026 and beyond.

What should a modern public broadcaster prioritize today?

CBC is supposed to tell Canadian stories. In an environment where everyone can make media, they should make room for Canadians to tell stories: stop including ads in their podcasts and online news platforms. Leave those ad dollars for new Canadian news outlets and podcasters.
