CBC/Radio-Canada says it will expand its international news coverage by opening five new international bureaus. The public broadcaster plans to establish offices in Beijing, Jerusalem, Los Angeles and Mexico City, and it will also open an additional bureau at an undisclosed location in Europe. The outlets report that the move is intended to broaden the broadcaster’s international newsgathering capacity as part of an overall expansion of its news division. The reports do not provide specific details on staffing plans, timelines for when each bureau will begin operating, or the criteria used to select the locations beyond the cities already named. One of the planned offices is in a European location that has not been identified publicly yet. The announcement is framed as a step in increasing CBC/Radio-Canada’s ability to cover developments abroad from regional bases, rather than relying solely on correspondents elsewhere. The broadcaster’s stated focus is on expanding its international reporting network through these bureau openings.
