CBC News is the division of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation responsible for the news gathering and production of news programs on CBC Television, CBC Radio, CBC News Network, and CBC.ca. The first CBC newscast was a bilingual radio report on November 2, 1936. The CBC began delivering news online in 1996 via the Newsworld Online website. In November 2023, the CBC joined with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, Paper Trail Media and 69 media partners including Distributed Denial of Secrets and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) to produce the 'Cyprus Confidential' report on the financial network which supports the regime of Vladimir Putin. All newscasts are available on demand online, via apps or via voice-activated virtual assistants. The majority of news and information is aired on CBC Radio One. An Opinion section was reintroduced in November 2016. Many reports are accompanied by audio and video podcasting, from the CBC's television and radio news services. CBC News content is available on multiple platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Explore.
