CBC TELLS STAFF NOT TO CALL 9/11 ‘TERRORIST ATTACKS’
Canada’s CBC has instructed journalists not to describe the September 11 attacks as “terrorist attacks” in coverage marking their 25th anniversary, reaffirming its longstanding policy of avoiding the terms “terrorist” and “terrorism” unless attributed to a source. The guidance has drawn criticism, while CBC maintains the policy is intended to preserve journalistic impartiality.
