The CBC is a news public service. If you have a reference for your version of the mandate, please share. For what it’s worth I do work in the media and with some people who’ve been working in it as long as I’ve been on this earth. (And no, not for the CBC) [edited: thought I should clarify I’m not a reporter or writer, but I do work closely with editorial and arts teams] I’ve never once heard anything like anything you’ve said. News organizations have long done this kind of thing. Right in the candaland article they reference The Canadian Association of Journalists’ Ethics Guidelines which states that once it’s in the public domain there is no copyright if the publisher comes to the same story. That’s typically referred to (at least in some copy as “independently corroborated”). As a best practice the CBC probably should still be referencing the other outlets that covered the story, especially the original. But there’s nothing unique about this, nor especially rendering it as a practice or the CBC as a scam. As a side note I don’t favour NP opinion pieces as qualitative evidence. Hopper clearly just wants the CBC to crumble. The Canadaland article is better, but is mostly tweets and complaints. The CBC is not the reason the press and media in general is struggling business-wise.
