Subhead:The public broadcaster was attempting to shield itself from scrutiny and prevent reporting on a hearing involving one of its own managers.#
The CBC has lost a bid in Québec Superior Court to block rival journalists from reporting on a hearing involving one of its own managers disciplined for workplace misconduct—despite the state broadcaster’s long history of advocating for open courts.
As first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, Justice Ian Demers dismissed the CBC’s attempt to impose a publication ban on the arbitration hearing, calling it a clear overreach.
