Policy on online content
retention of radio or television programs
Unless specifically stated otherwise,
CBC does not commit to retaining radio or television
program content online for any period of time.
In order to provide added value to its radio
and television programs offering, CBC carries
online elements of some of its radio and television
programs. The purpose of online material retention
is only to ease consultation by Internet users
and not to set up nor to provide archives, unless
when explicitly stated.
Journalistic Standards and Policies
The CBC occupies a unique position of
trust. Not only is it the most substantial and
broadly-based broadcast journalism organization
in Canada, it is funded, through Parliament, by
the people of Canada. The CBC therefore considers
it a duty to provide consistent, high-quality
information upon which all citizens may rely.
The
Journalistic
Standards and Practices
provide the policy
framework within which CBC journalism seeks to
meet the expectations and obligations it faces.
The second edition received approval from the
CBC Board of Directors in January, 2001.
