CBC pauses use of Twitter after labelled by Elon Musk as government funded media CBC Twitter
define government-funded media as outlets that are funded fully or partially by the government and “may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content.”
CBC/Radio-Canada stressed that this is not the case for its organization in a tweet on Sunday evening. "CBC/Radio-Canada is publicly funded through a parliamentary appropriation that is voted upon by all Members of Parliament," reads the tweet."Its editorial independence is protected in law in the Broadcasting Act, as we said in our statement from last week."
The outlet added that its journalism is subject to strict journalist standards and practices, as well as an independent complaints process through an ombudsman for its English and French services. Twitter’s own policy defines government-funded media as cases where the government “may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content,” which is clearly not the case with CBC/Radio-Canada.
