But in the face of the most profound crisis we confront — the climate emergency — we have yet to see the CBC be that public broadcaster. A year ago, the Climate Emergency Unit (CEU, with which I work) teamed up with Simon Fraser University’s Community-Engaged Research Initiative (SFU CERi) to investigate the CBC’s climate reporting. As Quiet Alarm notes, the CBC has committed to strengthening its climate reporting and employs some journalists with a keen understanding of the crisis. Ideally, a national climate emergency unit within the CBC could feed daily content to the flagship shows. Is there enough news for a daily climate report?
