THoughts on CBC and the Google news fund under Bill C-18 #CBC, #publicbroadcasting, #C18, #newsmedia, #canadianmedia

For those who've expressed an interest in my latest book, The Storm of Progress, I've posted a chapter synopsis at https://t.co/bJPG2n1D2I, in the blog. It's scheduled to be available in print in January, from Linda Leith Publishing Inc.

CBC management would do the corporation and the country a service by announcing right now that the public broadcaster will not compete with commercial media for Bill C18 Google funding, making clear they undertand what a PSB actually is.

[Wade Rowland @waderowland]

For the CBC to participate in the Bill C18 Google fund would be to repeat the foundational error of allowing commercial sponsorship on the public broadcaster. A PSB should be funded by the public it serves, and not corporate commercial interests.

[Wade Rowland @waderowland]

The CBC should most definitely NOT be a beneficiary of the Bill C18 Google fund. It should instead get our of commercial sponsorship on all platforms. A PSB exists to serve the public, and should be financed by the public out of general tax revenue like other public services.

Congratulations to @naomiAklein on the roaring success of her latest book, Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World. The review in the NYT Review of Books concludes, "If I had to name a single book that makes sense of these last few dark years, it would be this one." Wow!

David Brooks' weekend column "People's Generosity is Underestimated" @nytdavidbrooks is a welcome update on how disastrously wrongheaded our modern concept of human nature has been. As he notes, "Are We Good?" is the key question here. #ethics

Here's an excellent report on CBC financing over time from the hard-working folks at Canada's Forum for Research and Policy in Communications. Just in time for the upcoming CBC licence renewal hearings before the CRTC.
