CBC updates policy on 9/11 terminology
The article discusses the controversy surrounding how CBC News has historically referred to the September 11, 2001 attacks, with an internal memo revealing a directive to describe the events as hijackings rather than terrorist attacks. The memo was released ahead of the 25th anniversary, prompting CBC to clarify its stance and confirm that it has always reported on the terrorists and motives behind the attacks with attribution. CBC announced that it will adjust its language guidance to better clarify that describing 9/11 as terrorism does not require attribution, aiming to improve public understanding.
