CBC journalists may have been “too timid” in seeking differing perspectives on public health measures introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the CBC ombudsman.

Ombudsman Jack Nagler made the comments in a Dec. 30, 2024, response to a viewer complaint over CBC News’ coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic.
