Established in 1941, CBC News is Canada’s publicly funded news and information provider. With a presence in all regions of the country, we cover news from Canada and around the globe, offering a unique Canadian perspective on current events.
Our core mission is to inform, enlighten, address issues of public interest, and promote civic engagement in our democratic society.
Our commitment to our audience is unwavering: we are here daily to help navigate and understand the complexities of our world together.
With journalists based in over 75 local offices across Canada and additional bureaus in London, Mexico City, Mumbai, New York City, and Washington, we strive to provide comprehensive coverage.
When needed, CBC News establishes temporary bureaus, known as pop-up bureaus, to ensure thorough coverage of specific stories or regions.
