CBC News is one of the famous news websites under the aegis of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. This premier online news portal is responsible for accumulating news scoops and producing them on CBC television and radio. CBC News enjoys the distinction of being the largest news telecaster in Canada with an integrated and full-fledged network of local, regional and global news wings such as BBC World and CNN. The nearest national competitor of CBC News is channel CTV NewsNet. On the international front, CNN and BBC World pose the toughest competition for CBC News. Elaborate and schematic courses of action mark the core news strategies of CBC News. Following the decreasing popularity of its business by the end of 2005, it made a double-check of its existing business ethics and introduced more refreshing policies and standards of merit. In January 2006, CBC News began focusing on renovating its news accumulation and presentation formats in order to reach out to a more extensive base of audience. The concerned authority also endeavored to establish a stronghold in terms of leadership in Canada. At present, the nitty-gritty of its business lies in devising concrete and uncompromising methods of journalism, increasing regional and global connectivity and more exposure to different views. It has tried to incorporate these strategies not just for television audience, but also for the broad spectrum of consumers in CBC Newsworld, CBC News Express, CBC Radio and CBC.ca. CBC News adheres to the Journalistic Standards and Practices. This standardized yardstick for journalism lays down the cardinal rules and framework within which CBC News strives to meet the outlooks and responsibilities desired of it. One of the key attributes of CBC News is its unrelenting effort to maintain a neutral standpoint. Even many popular news sites falter in this regard. The three most crucial aspects of delivering quality news are integrity, accuracy and transparency. The house of CBC News excels in all these three facets and this has earned it a worldwide recognition. It is noted for working with a firm principle within the frameworks of existing journalism ethics. The news presenters are asked to come up with unbiased, 'factual' opinions rather than value judgments. CBC News always holds itself accountable for what is presented by them and this trait earns them a lot of credibility in the eyes of general public. It might be noted that the CBC Ombudsman does not share any professional or business linkage with the CBC body. The former is an autonomous body, reporting directly to the President and Board of Directors. CBC Television forms a significant part of CBC News. The main news programs are aired on CBC Newsworld. Broadcasting of local and regional news is taken care of by the Local News wing of CBC Television. Regional needs and preferences are given top priority. CBC News: Here and Now is a recently launched hour-long show which has gained much popularity. The website CBC.com began its journey in 1996 and is still going great guns. It is responsible for an extensive coverage of local, regional as well as international news. Sports, arts and entertainment also feature prominently over there.
