CBC Expands Local Journalism Across Quebec and Canada

Public broadcaster strengthens community reporting with new bureaus, journalists, and digital initiatives

CBC News is expanding its local journalism presence across Quebec as part of its “Here for Canada” strategy. The initiative includes new bureaus in Sept-Îles, the North Shore, and Châteauguay, alongside 11 additional locations nationwide. The expansion will create 33 new reporting positions to improve coverage in underserved communities. CBC is also launching new regional web pages and local podcasts to enhance digital access to community news. The move aims to strengthen proximity journalism, improve civic engagement, and address long-standing gaps in local reporting across smaller and remote regions.
