Twitter has removed its labels for the CBC in Canada, BBC in Britain, NPR in the United States and other media outlets in China, Iran and Russia, as global news organizations evaluate their presence on the social-media platform and its use as a communications tool amid its mercurial moves.
Earlier this week, the CBC had been labelled as “69% Government-funded Media.” The Canadian public broadcaster said Twitter chief executive Elon Musk was treating journalistic independence “as a game.” The CBC decided to pause activity on Twitter for the foreseeable future, mirroring similar decisions made by NPR and PBS in the U.S.
“We are reviewing this latest development and will leave our Twitter accounts on pause before taking any next steps,” CBC spokesperson Leon Mar told The Globe and Mail on Friday. (Globe and Mail)
