As internet communications scholars, we propose that Canada’s public broadcaster, the CBC, should build a Mastodon server on the global network. This network allows one Mastodon server to connect to another — as well as to many other social media software systems. The future of public service mediaIn the past, the CBC has been a little sensitive about its social media strategy. Our proposal applies to Radio-Canada as much as the CBC — really, to any public service media. Indeed, we hope that taking alternative social media seriously would reignite a collective and global imagination of the future of public service media.
