The CBC admits its mistake
CBC News publisher John Cruickshank said Sunday that CBC News 'erred' in its editorial judgement regarding the controversial Heather Mallick column recently posted on CBCNews.ca.
Stating that a mistake was made is not easy for any news media organization as demonstrated by the fact that most newspapers publish their corrections on the page of the newspaper which people pay the least attention to. I'm sure the CBC didn't find it easy to admit the error they made.
What are your thoughts on what Mr. Cruickshank had to say?
