CBC Reverses Policy to Label 9/11 Attacks as Terrorism After Public Outcry

Canada's public broadcaster CBC/Radio-Canada has announced it will use the word 'terrorism' to describe the September 11 attacks, reversing its long-standing editorial policy. The broadcaster's existing standards had prohibited journalists from independently labeling events as terrorist attacks, requiring them instead to attribute such descriptions to other sources. The policy change came after significant public backlash against the outlet's approach to covering acts of political violence. The decision marks a notable shift in how CBC/Radio-Canada will frame one of the most consequential events in modern history.
