CBC News is planning to boost coverage in nearly two dozen underserved communities across Canada by hiring up to 30 permanent journalists.
The public broadcaster says it’s making the investment using funds expected from Google as part of a compensation deal made under the Online News Act.
The act compels tech giants to pay news outlets for using their content. Google agreed to pay $100 million to be exempt from the act for five years.
